**NEW** at Kimball Library is Mah Jong on alternate Mondays from 1-4:30pm! Whether you are a novice or an experienced Mah Jong player, come join the fun! We have someone who is willing to teach you to play if you never have had the experience. Cozy up in the Game Room of the library, share some laughs, and make some new friends. All experience levels are welcome. Feel free to bring a beverage with you.
Mah Jong is a fun rummy-like game played with tiles rather than cards. There are a couple of different versions of Mah Jong - Chinese Mah Jong and American Mah Jong. We will be playing American Mah Jong and will be following the rules for American Mah Jong. One of the main differences is that American Mah Jong uses a card of Standard Hands, against which all games are played. These cards are distributed by the National Maj Jong League and changed annually. We will have these cards on hand for all to use.
We hope this will bring some people in the community together for a fun filled afternoon. The leaders will teach anyone who wants to learn. It does require some strategy as well as some luck to play. A small amount of time and effort is needed to become familiar with the principles of the game and the rules of the game. Registration is required so we’ll know how many tables to prepare. Please sign up online or give us a call. The following Mondays are ready for registration: July 23, August 6, August 20, September 10, and September 24.
