Do you know how to play Mah Jongg? If so, Mah Jongg players meet to play on Mondays 12:30-3:00pm. Mah Jongg is a fascinating, rummy-like game played with tiles rather than cards. The game originated in China in the 19th century, then popularized in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The tiles depict Chinese characters rather than suits you would find in typical card games and players strategize to create a winning ‘hand’.
Mah Jongg is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, with millions of dedicated players around the world and a variety of Internet and computer versions. Over time, after players become familiar with the elementary principles of the game, they develop patience in mastering the fine points and experience keen enjoyment invariably derived from the game.
Folks are welcome to participate once they have had experience playing the game, or observe these Monday sessions, however lessons cannot be given during or in between games on Mondays. The Lifetime Learning Institute, affiliated with the New Paltz University offers beginner classes in the fall. Beginners can read A Beginner’s Guide to American Mah Jongg and look at the National Mah Jongg League website.
Mondays from 12:30 to 3:30pm. (Community Center)
