3100 Country Club Road SouthwestA little Mahj, a lot of merry!
Join us for Merry Mahj, a special holiday celebration from Midwest Mahjong!
Expect plenty of Mahjong, light bites, prizes, holiday fun, and time around the tables with friends old and new. Everyone will also leave with a special Merry Mahj surprise to take home!
Festive attire is encouraged—holiday sweaters, Mahj Christmas gear, or whatever makes you feel merry!
Come for the tiles, stay for the community.
Mahjong Social Play is designed for players who are comfortable playing independently and ready to enjoy the game in a relaxed, social setting.
This is not an instructional session—players should have a foundational understanding of gameplay, including the Charleston, reading the card, and general flow of the game.
To create the best possible experience for everyone, tables will be thoughtfully organized by experience level based on registration and group size. When registering, you’ll be asked to select your comfort level so we can thoughtfully group players:
* Beginner+ (can play with minimal help)
* Intermediate
* Experienced
Bethany from Midwest Mahjong will be present to help facilitate, answer occasional questions, and keep things running smoothly—but gameplay will be largely self-directed.
We will be playing according to National Mah Jongg League rules. This is social play only—no scorekeeping, just great games and great company.
Come connect, play, and celebrate every Mahjong together! This is where the tiles tell stories, and every game builds community!
Everyone is at a different stage in their Mahjong journey—and that’s a wonderful thing! Please select the level that best reflects how independently you can play today (rather than how comfortable you feel). This helps us create the best possible tables for everyone.
Table groupings will be based on registrations and may be adjusted as needed to ensure the best experience for all players.
👉 If you’re unsure, we recommend choosing the lower level—we’ll make sure you’re well placed.
Midwest Mahjong reserves the right to adjust table placements to create the best experience for all players.
Options:
Beginner+ (can play with minimal help)
You understand the basics and can play, but may need occasional reminders. You’ll do great in Social Play with others at a similar level.
Intermediate
You’re comfortable playing independently and understand the flow of the game, but may still be building confidence.
Experienced
You’re confident, consistent, and comfortable with the pace and strategy of the game.
Tablemate Request*
Please list your requested tablemates during registration. To be grouped together, tablemate requests should be mutual—each person should list the others in their group. We will do our best to accommodate requests whenever possible.
A few helpful notes:
Requests are easiest to honor when groups of 4 register together and request one another.
Please coordinate with your group before registering.
Final table groupings may be adjusted as needed to create the best experience for everyone.**Please note that you do not need to be a RGCC member to attend this event.
