Don’t know a Wind from a Bam? Never played Mahjong—or tried to learn and found yourself a little overwhelmed? This welcoming workshop is designed to take you from Mahjong basics to confidently playing a guided game, one step at a time.
This welcoming introduction to American Mahjong led by Lauren Gross of Mahj the Day is designed to make learning the game approachable, enjoyable, and fun. Together, we’ll uncover the beauty of the tiles, understand the card and suits, learn the flow of the game - including dealing, the Charleston, and calling for a tile. It will get you ready to confidently join the table.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the foundation you need to start playing.
All are welcome. Whether you are a novice or ready to take your game to the next level, come ready to learn, play, and have fun in a supportive and fun environment.

• Full Mahjong table setup
• National Mah Jongg League Card provided for play

ABOUT MAHJ THE DAY - Lauren Gross
I started Mahj the Day, because I believe mahjong is about so much more than tiles and strategy. It's about gathering around a table, sharing laughs, building friendships, and creating a community that keeps people coming back long after the game is over.
Whether you’re brand new to mahjong, getting back into the game or looking for a reason to gather your people, I’d love to welcome you to the Mahj the Day experience. Come for the game, stay for the friendships—and leave already looking forward to your next table.
