Adult Winter/Spring 2026
You've seen her on KSTP's Twin Cities Live! They call her Abbe Mah Jongg. We call her fabulous! Don't be fooled by imitations. Abbe is a seasoned teacher who has taught well over 1,000 students the tips and strategies that make Mah Jongg so special. No one else has the emotional and intellectual connection to the Mah Jongg game that she has.
This introductory course to American Mah Jongg will teach you everything we’ve learned to love about the wonderful world of “MAHJ” - the snacks, the chat, and of course the game! In this four-part beginning series you will learn the basics, be able to ask questions, and get plenty of practice. Soon you will master this exciting and challenging game of skill, strategy, and luck.
Mah Jongg is an excellent way to bond with family and friends, create community, and keep you quick on your toes! No equipment needed, just pull up a chair and join us!
