Mahjong 101 – $60 Perfect for complete beginners! Never played mahjong before? Start here. Mahjong 101 introduces you to the fundamentals of the game, including how the tiles work, the basic rules, and how to get started playing. This class is your first step into the world of mahjong and is designed to give you the foundation you’ll need before moving on to guided play and future classes. Mahjong 102 / Guided Play – $60 For players who have completed Mahjong 101. Ready to put what you’ve learned into practice? Mahjong 102 gives newer players the opportunity to play actual games with guidance from experienced instructors. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, build confidence, and learn as you play. Think of 102 as the bridge between learning the basics and playing independently. Open Play – $20 For experienced players who are ready to play on their own. Already know mahjong and feel comfortable playing without instruction? Join us for open play and enjoy some friendly games with fellow mahjong enthusiasts. Open Play is intended for players who have already completed a mahjong lesson and have their own current NMJL card. Instruction is not provided during Open Play.
