Mah Jongg
Mah Jongg
for Beginners
One bam..two crack! Never heard those words? In this course you'll not
only learn what they mean, but will discover an exciting game that is
experiencing a resurgence
in popularity. When you take this class, you will learn from square one.
Or should I say tile one! This primer is very basic and will have you
playing in no time. Attendance at the first class is a must. You will learn rules of the
game as sanctioned by the National Mah Jongg League. Please bring the current National
Mah Jongg
League
card to
the
first
class (see notes
below).
If
you own a Mah Jongg set bring it to class (do not run out and buy one).
Come join
me
to learn this entertaining, social and most enjoyable game. Instructor
Sybl Falik started playing Mah Jongg as a young mother, as a way to socialize.
Quickly Mah
Jongg became a passion, and she used this game to meet friends by teaching
the game to women. I hope you will develop a love for this game as I
have.
