    Assisted Play

    Cancelled

    Time

    Mon, Jul 6 - 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM

    Assisted Play is the perfect bridge between learning Mahjong and playing confidently on your own. This session is designed for players who know the basic rules but still want support while they play. You’ll sit down for real game play while an instructor circulates, answers questions, offers tips, helps with hand selection, and guides you through decisions as they come up. This is not a formal lesson — it’s supported play in a friendly, low-pressure environment. Assisted Play is great for players who: Have completed Mahjong 101 and/or Mahjong 102 Know the basics but still feel unsure Want help reading the card during actual play Need practice with Charleston decisions Want support with calling, jokers, exposures, and strategy Are ready to play more but want a safety net You’ll get real-time guidance, friendly encouragement, and plenty of practice at the table. We play together so you can play your best.
