A 3-Class Mahjong Journey
New to Mahjong or need a refresh? You’re in exactly the right place! The Mahjong Mingle Method is our three-session learning experience designed to take you from “What in the world do I do with all these tiles?” to “I’ve got this!”
No cramming. No pressure. Just patient instruction, plenty of practice, and lots of fun along the way.
Lesson Sequence
Learn the Game With the First Deal ✥ Lesson 1
This is where it all begins! Meet the tiles, learn the lingo, understand how the game flows, and discover the basics of American Mahjong. We break everything down into easy-to-understand steps so you can relax, ask questions, and enjoy learning something new.
Put the Pieces Together With Winning Hands ✥ Lesson 2
Now the fun really starts! We’ll dive into the NMJL card, help you understand how to choose and build hands, learn the Charleston, use Jokers, and begin making those all-important decisions at the table. This is usually when we start hearing, “Ohhhh…now I get it!”
Independent Practice With Table Talk ✥ Lesson 3
Time to put everything you’ve learned into action! You’ll play real games while we’re nearby to answer questions, offer tips, and help when you get stuck. Think of it as Mahjong with training wheels, until suddenly, you realize you don’t need them anymore.
Once you’ve completed The Mahjong Mingle Method, you’ll have the skills and confidence to join Mahj & Mingle, gather your own group of friends, or simply pull up a chair whenever someone says, “Who wants to play Mahjong?”
Three sessions. Lots of learning. One confident Mahjong player.
Come for the Mahjong. Stay for the mingle.

You’ve learned the game, now it’s time to grab a seat and play!
Mahj & Mingle Open Play is a relaxed, social two-hour session for players who are comfortable with the basics and ready to enjoy real games with fellow Mahjong lovers. Come by yourself, bring a friend, or gather your whole crew. We’ll have everything ready for you!
Here’s What’s Included:
What You Need to Play
We will provide a few Mahjong sets, mats, racks, and all the essentials. Let us know if you can bring your sets, mats and racks to share. Be sure to bring your current NMJL card and your love of the game!
A Seat at the Table
Coming alone? No worries! Part of the fun of Mahjong Mingle is meeting new people. We’ll help get everyone settled at a table and ready to Mahj.
Two Hours of Play
Shuffle, Charleston, build those hands, call those tiles, and hopefully shout MAHJONG! There’s plenty of time to squeeze in multiple games.
A Fun, Welcoming Atmosphere
No pressure. Just good games, great conversation, and plenty of laughs around the table.
A Little Help When You Need It
This isn’t a lesson or guided play, but we’ll be there to keep things running smoothly and help with an occasional question or rule clarification.
Know Before You Go
Mahj & Mingle Open Play is best for players who already understand the basics of American Mahjong and can play mostly independently.
Grab a seat. Make a hand. Meet your people. Let’s Mingle!

Learn Strategy
Session
Ready to build on what you already know?
A Strategy Session is a 2.5-hour guided play experience for anyone who’s finished the Mahjong Mingle Method, learned elsewhere, or simply wants more practice with real-time tips. We’ll play actual games while focusing on the decisions that turn “I kind of get it” into “I’ve got this”: choosing and adjusting hands, using Jokers well, reading the table, and knowing when to stick or pivot.
Less second-guessing. More confident play.
Here’s What’s Included:
Pinpoint the Gaps
We quickly see where your group needs the most help so we can focus the session instead of reviewing everything again.
Targeted Activities for Higher Skills
Pivoting when your hand isn’t coming together
Smarter Joker use (when to play one and when to hold)
Reading the table (watching discards and exposures)
Stronger Charleston and early hand choices
Knowing when to stick and when to switch
Guided Play That Puts It All Together
Once the activities are done, we play real games with tips in the moment so the new skills stick.
Perfect for 4–12 Players
Ideal for a table of friends who want more, or a mix of players who learned in different places.
Everything Provided
Sets, mats, racks, cards, and tip sheets. Just bring yourselves (and your current NMJL card if you have one.)
$100pp for a group of 4
$75pp for a group of 5–12
