Chinese Style Mahjong with the 2nd Act Affinity Group

As adults, it’s easy for life to become all about the “main quest”—work, responsibilities, and getting things done. But as we discussed in previous Second Act meetings, that makes us unbalanced - neglecting our other areas of wealth - health and community, and yes fun.  This month, we’re taking a side quest to rediscover the joy of play by learning mahjong, connecting with others, and making a little more room for fun and balance in our lives.

Join us for a fun, hands-on, 3-hour session to master Chinese Mahjong—a timeless game you’ll want to play again and again!  Led by local alum and experienced instructor Jackie Luo (WG'01), this beginner-friendly workshop covers essential play and scoring rules, followed by guided practice games in groups of four.

Unlike American Mahjong, which requires purchasing a new hands card every year, Chinese Mahjong uses a few fixed rules to form a winning hand —no cards needed! Come relax, learn the strategies, and get ready to play.
