Mah Jong

Activity

Still proving popular, our group of Mah Jong players continues to meet up to enjoy a morning of friendly banter and a few hands of Mah Jong; the real deal, no computers!!!. The game is similar to rummy but played with tiles, it is a game of luck and a little skill.

The basics are easy to learn, which means beginners and experienced players can therefore play together.

Mah Jong

Could you be a future recruit to our Mahjong group? Since our players
last got together for a few hands of Mahjong, we have had a number
of players moving away so we have room in our group for beginners.

We would like to give anyone interested a chance to get to know this
intriguing 19th century game of tiles. You'd learn the basics to get you
started, enabling you to enjoy playing with us.

The game itself is very easy to pick up and has similarities to rummy. The intricacies of learning to deal the tiles takes a little longer, but beginners needn’t worry, everyone mucks in to help and it is mainly a game of luck and a small amount of strategy.
