Beginners Mah Jongg
One Bam! Two Dot! Three Crack! Calling all beginners who want to learn how to play mah jongg with instructor Sharon Katz. Join the ranks of mah jongg enthusiasts who are reaping the social and intellectual benefits of playing this challenging tile game. This series runs for 6 sessions on Tuesday mornings from January 10 - 31 and February 14 & 21.
Players will learn the basics: identifying tiles and rules, choosing a hand by interpreting the mah jongg card, setting the table and dealing, passing tiles, and playing a round.
Library will provide 2022 rule cards for class use. If you'd like your own rule card to keep, cards can be purchased online from the National Mah Jongg League.
Supplies for this program are made possible by the Friends of the Westwood Library and a generous donation.
