About this course:

Mah-Jongg is a game of both skill and luck that originated in China many centuries ago. It was brought to the West in the 1920s and is played with four players seated around a table. Tiles are shuffled, die are cast, and rituals involving the allocation of tiles and then the exchange of tiles begin. The first person to match a hand of 14 tiles and thus call “Mah-Jongg" ends the game, whereupon tiles are scored and a winner is declared. This course introduces the beginner to the basic rules and simple strategies. Learn to play this enjoyable, social, and thought-provoking game! The first two meetings are mandatory. Every student must purchase the current Mah-Jongg card from the National Mah-Jongg League at www.nationalmahjonggleague.org. The large card is preferred.
