What we’re about
The Melbourne Mahjong Meetup Group is dedicated to those who are in Melbourne and would like to play the ancient game of mahjong and meet other players. If you are interested in playing some Cantonese/Japanese Mahjong on a regular basis, then this group is for you :)
There are no restrictions in this group, anyone interested in playing / learning to play are welcome to join.
We've recently been playing several styles of mahjong, including Cantonese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and World Series of Mahjong rules.

Join us for an evening of Japanese Riichi Mahjong at Marché Boardgame Cafe! 😃
When you arrive, be sure to say hello to the host, and let them know your experience level. We have a dedicated table set aside for teaching the game, so don't worry; whether you've never played in-person, not sure of the yaku, or never played at all, everyone is welcome.

Tables of 4 players each usually form at the start time, 5:30-5:45, so try to arrive on time so that you can get a seat. Late arrivals may have to wait for the next game, which could take up to an hour.
This event has a small $5 fee, payable on the night. First-time players can attend for free!
Marché provides food and drink for purchase to consume at the table. Check out their menu here: https://mbgcafe.com.au/menu.pdf
