About Mah Jongg: If you have wanted to learn how to play Mah Jongg, “The Game of a Thousand Intelligences,” this class is for you! Mah Jongg, literally meaning "clattering sparrow," is an ancient Chinese tile game that originated during the Qing dynasty. Maj has similarities to the card game of Gin Rummy and tile game Rummy Q. The object of the game is to arrange a combination of tiles to construct a winning hand using the most contemporary playing card.
Mah Jongg is a challenging, enjoyable game and a social experience for both individuals and couples.
