Mahjong is an ancient Chinese game, and during this course we will be learning the Western Version of the game.
We will play hands from "The Mahjong Player's Companion" by Patricia A Thompson and Betty Maloney as well as by the rules from their book "The Game of Mahjong Illustrated". Handouts of the basic rules will be provided, you will learn how to play the game, recognize the tiles, symbols, terms and rules, plus more will be explained.
Our teacher: Adele Lipson
"I initially learned how to play Mahjong at U3A and have been teaching for the last 3 years. Learning Mahjong can seem a little mysterious at first. It feels like learning a new language with new phrases and tiles, but by week 3 or 4 it should all make sense. Mahjong is often described as a game of skill, strategy and a bit of luck, but it can also involve plenty of laughter and good company. Brains are exercised, friendships are made. I hope you'll love it as much as I do"
