This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
Mahjong is a four person Chinese tile game of skill, strategy, and luck, similar to the card game, Rummy. The tiles have three suits-bamboo, dots and cracks. Other tiles include: dragons, winds, flowers, and jokers (wild cards).
Each session will start with the beginner lesson so learners are able to review what they have learned the preceding week. Each lesson includes:
an introduction to the tiles
an explanation of the card
practice
and a chance to play the game in a relaxed environment
All materials are provided.
Information about play dates and times will be provided to learners who wish to continue after the course is completed.
This in-person four-week course will meet at Dirigo Pines in Orono. Proof of vaccination required at the first class meeting and masks should be worn in the public areas.
