Open Play is perfect if you:
Have taken Mahjong 101 & 102 or You know the rules and game flow of American Mahjong.
Want regular practice in a fun, welcoming space
Love the game but don’t want to worry about hosting or buying your own set
Are looking to meet new friends who love Mahjong as much as you do
Think of it as your weekly Mahjong fix—beautiful tables, ready-to-play tiles, and instant connection.
-
A reserved seat at the table (no scrambling for players!)
Tiles, racks, dice, and all the setup taken care of
Friendly players who love connection as much as competition
A light, social environment where laughter is guaranteed
You just bring yourself your NMJL card (and a friend if you’d like)—we’ll handle the rest.
-
When you arrive, we’ll seat you with a group that matches your experience. Games move at a relaxed pace so everyone can settle in and enjoy themselves. Some nights you might play one game, some nights three—it’s all about connection over competition.
Bring a friend, or come solo and make new ones. Either way, you’ll leave with more confidence in your play—and maybe even a new Mahjong bestie.
