What we’re about
We play American-Style Mah Jongg (National Mah Jongg League), based on the 2025 NMJL card.
We seek other players of all levels to join us for our drop-in games every Sunday and Tuesday, and the first Wednesday of the month -- with more to come. Instruction for new and returning players is offered at the beginning of the Sunday sessions. Games are for fun only -- there is no betting or money exchanged.
While there is no weekly commitment, we do encourage regular game play.
Join us for some tile fun!
Are you in Montgomery County? There are also drop-in games in North Bethesda.
