Common questions
Are these listings current?
Each listing comes from the venue's own public page and shows the month we last checked it. Schedules drift, so confirm with the venue before your first visit. If you find one that has ended, tell us and we will fix it the same week.
How do I get my game or club listed?
Email editor@mahjongalmanac.com with the game's name, venue, city, schedule, and a public web page we can verify it against. Listing is free for everyone and always will be; we do not rank listings or sell placement.
I am brand new. Can I just show up?
Usually yes at library and community games, which tend to welcome beginners and often teach. Bring nothing but patience: sets are provided, and if it is an American game you can pick up the current National Mah Jongg League card there or order one first. Email the contact on the listing if you want to be sure.
New to the game entirely? Start with how American mah jongg works so your first table feels familiar, and bring the Charleston with you; it is the part every beginner wishes someone had explained first.
