Mahjong in the Market- August 14

Grab your friends and join us for a fun night out learning American Mahjong in the cozy cafe at Prairie Food Co-Op!
Connect with other American Mahjong players and sharpen your skills at the table.Â
This session is designed for players who have already taken a lesson and are looking for extra support making real-time game decisions in a relaxed, social setting. You’ll mostly play on your own, but help is always nearby.
Colleen from Mariposa Mahjong will provide everything you need to play and will be circulating throughout the evening to answer questions and offer guidance whenever you need it. Think of it as open play with a safety net: low-pressure, supportive, and fun.
Come for the tiles, stay for the camaraderie, and leave feeling more confident in your game.
Â
Bring your NMJL card; otherwise, we will have cards to borrow. Please let us know if you are unable to attend so we can make appropriate arrangements since gameplay is dependent on 4 players per table. Tickets are non-refundable, but you may transfer your ticket to another player.
**Photography may occur during the event for marketing purposes. Please notify the instructor at check-in if you do not wish to be photographed.
Tickets
Tickets are $33.85 and can be purchased through Eventbrite
