Mah Jongg for Beginners
Learn to play American Mah Jongg, the game that is the talk of the town! Devoted players include Kelly Ripa, Julia Roberts, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cher, Megan Markle, Savannah Guthrie... and likely, at least a few of your friends!
People Magazine recently listed Mah Jongg on its list of "Hot" activities for 2025; the Today Show ran a feature on the Mah Jongg craze as well. If you are wondering how to jump on board with this ancient yet wildly popular game, the Four Winds Lounge is here to help.
Kitty and Amy, co-founders of the Four Winds Lounge, began teaching Mah Jongg informally to family and friends years ago. With a deep understanding of the game drawn from their combined 16 years of experience playing Mah Jongg, Kitty and Amy went on to become certified Mah Jongg instructors to ensure students learn the intricacies of the game quickly and thoroughly. Our eight-hour curriculum is built to provide a solid understanding of all facets of this centuries-old game. Four Winds Lounge can also facilitate ongoing events as your calendar allows, providing you and your group opportunities to grow their understanding and enjoyment of the game.
