A little bit Mahj, a little bit Bingo, and a whole lot of craft beer. 🀄️🍻

Mark your calendars for July 15th at 6 PM! We’re hosting Mahj-ingo Night at WayGone Brewery and mixing up the regular game. You’ll get to mark off a special board for different scenarios while you play!

🏆 Awesome prizes on the line
🎉 All skill levels welcome (seriously, come play!)
🍺 Great beer on tap

Come for the tiles, stay for the brews. Tag your game night crew in the comments! 👯‍♀️

I 🩷 teaching neighborhood groups!

How fun to not only have a group of people who share an interest in learning mahjong, but you can walk to each others’ houses for games. We were down to the wire for the win and three of four hands were so close!

Amidst the chaos of finalizing tournament plans last week, I stepped out to teach this lovely group how to play. We had to undo some table rules (no blanks allowed!) but it was such a fun evening. I’m going to pull up a chair, glass of wine, and just play next time!

Even if you don’t call Mahjong, you can still gain ground on the scoreboard at our tournament!

Players who are “one tile away” from a winning hand when the game ends receive a +2 point bonus. To claim these points, your hand must be verified and signed off by East at the end of the game.

When someone calls Mahjong, resist the urge to mash your tiles together; keep them on your rack so you can prove you were just one tile away from victory.

Where you put your tiles is just as important as which ones you play.

When you call a discard for an exposure, it must be placed on the flat part of your rack. If you accidentally place a called tile on the sloped part—where your hidden hand lives—your hand can be declared dead for the remainder of the game.

Developing the muscle memory to always use the flat top for exposures will protect your hand from being disqualified.

In the heat of the game, don’t forget to speak up!

You must verbally call for any discarded tile you wish to claim for an exposure or Mahjong. Clear communication keeps the game fair for everyone and prevents confusion at the table, especially when multiple people may be eyeing the same discard.
