Mahjong 101 at the Fultondale Event Center
Learning Mahjong can feel overwhelming trying to learn on your own. Let me make it easy for you! Our class consists of a 2.5-3 hour lesson where you learn more about the history of Mahjong, the tiles, and the National Mahjong League Card. We take a short 15 minute break mid-class, and then jump into the Deal, the Charleston, and Game Play. It's as informative as it is fun! Come see what it's all about and make some new friends while you are at it!
