Wednesday Guided Play

Guided Play is a 2-hour American Mahjong session for players who have completed beginner lessons or already understand the basics and want more practice, more confidence, and a little extra support at the table. You’ll play full games while our instructor coaches your table in real time. We’ll help you think through the decisions that can make mahjong feel tricky — from choosing and building a hand to navigating the Charleston, deciding what to discard, making joker exchanges, and recognizing when it’s time to pivot.
