I want help practicing
You've taken a class or learned the basics, but you're not quite ready to jump into a game on your own. That's exactly what Guided Play sessions are for.
Upcoming Guided Play sessions
No Guided Play sessions are on the calendar right now. Join the email list below to hear about new dates, or bring Bonnie to your own group.
Private Guided Play for your group
Is your Mah Jongg group still getting the hang of things? Bonnie joins your regular game, at your place and on your schedule, and is right there whenever you call her over, from the Charleston to choosing a hand to strategy, so your whole group gains confidence while you play.
What is Guided Play?
Guided Play sessions are for newer players who want real game experience with instructor support. You play full games at a relaxed pace while Bonnie circulates the room, answers questions, offers strategy tips, and helps with tricky situations.
Think of it as training wheels: all the fun of playing, with a safety net when you need it.
