Mahjong Classes Next 3 Wednesdays!
May 8
May 15
May 22
2:30 pm to 4:00 pm at the Clubhouse
American mahjong, also spelled mah jongg, is a variant of the Chinese game mahjong. American mahjong is played with four players using mah jongg tiles. The goal of the game is to be the first, by picking and discarding, to match one’s tiles to a specific hand from the distributed scorecard.
American mahjong utilizes racks to hold each player’s tiles, jokers, and “Hands and Rules” score cards. It has several distinct gameplay mechanics such as “The Charleston”,[1] which is a set of required passes, and optional passing of the tiles.

Please contact her at Anotherchance1@yahoo.com if you have any questions. Please include your phone number in the email, or call her at 954-817-1096.
