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 for Beginners is for.

What is Guided Play for Beginners?

Guided Play sessions are designed for newer players who want real game experience with instructor support. You will 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 for your Mah Jongg journey — all the fun of playing, with a safety net when you need it.

What We Provide

  • Full Mah Jongg set (tiles, racks, pushers)
  • Current NMJL card for reference
  • Instructor guidance throughout
  • A welcoming, no-pressure environment

What to Bring

  • Your own NMJL card (if you have one)
  • A willingness to learn and have fun
