  Come play with us.  It’s an exhilarating game! American Mah Jongg is an adaptation of a game that originally came from China.

If you’ve played gin rummy, you have a head start in learning how to play this game. Instead of cards, you play with tiles that have Chinese symbols and characters etched into them and require players to fashion the tiles into combinations that make a “hand”.  The first person to assemble combinations of these tiles into specific patterns wins the game. We play with a card that shows all the possible hands you can make.

'It’s a sociable, competitive, exciting and addictive game that’s truly lots of fun.
