Mahjong for Beginners
Mahjong is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. Using a set of 144 ornate and very attractive painted tiles, four players are seated around a square table signifying the four directions North, East, South, West. (With a slight variation, a group of three can also play).
It’s a compelling game, with a mix of skill and luck. Similar to the Western card game of rummy, it’s easy to learn, contrary to popular belief, but as in all games, the more one plays the more one realises how much there is to learn.
This new group offers a friendly, social atmosphere to welcome beginners and anyone who has played before in the past and would now like to re-learn. No prior knowledge is required.
Please come along to enjoy learning the game within a relaxed environment.
Develop skills such as observation and memory. Once you’ve learnt the rules, your skills will progress into strategic and tactical play!
The group meets on the 2nd & 4th Monday of the month from 10.30-12.30 in Burbage.
