Lessons for beginners in Maj Jong You must be willing to commit to 5 sessions Wednesdays in May beginning May 1 (May 1,8,15,22,29) American Mahjong uses 152 tiles. It's typically played by 4 players, though accommodations can be made for three. For each session, players will be able to use my set of official cards. Or you can purchase your own cards at National Mah Jongg League Space is limited. Please respect your host, as well as the other GNPS registrants by giving sufficient advance notice if your plans change and you cannot attend. Thank you.
