Graphic of Delaware with New Castle County Highlighted

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 9, 2024-October 7, 2024

Monday: 12:45 PM-2:00 PM

This is a class for beginners! We teach the basics of American Mah Jongg, and spend time practicing the game. Since the class builds on knowledge from the previous week, it is recommended to attend as many sessions as possible. Students must purchase a 2024 Mah Jongg card from the National Mah Jongg League (https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.org/). We suggest also signing up for the second five-week extracurricular session to practice what you’ve learned. Join us and see how much fun Mah Jongg is!
