Beginner Mahjong at Brewpoint

Mahjong Mischief’s Beginner Mahjong is designed for brand-new players—no experience required. We’ll introduce you to the tiles, teach you how to read the National Mah Jongg League card, walk through the basics of building a hand, and explain the rules and rhythms of the game.

Then we’ll put it all together and play! Our goal isn’t for you to memorize everything in one class. It’s to give you a strong foundation, plenty of hands-on practice, and the confidence to keep playing and learning.

Angela Buikema and the Mahjong Mischief team will guide you step by step in a welcoming small-group setting. Angela is a certified Oh My Mahjong Instructor and a member of the Mahj Life Instructor Guild. Teaching assistants will be available for additional guidance and support at each table. All Mahjong sets and teaching materials are provided. If you already have a National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) Card, please bring it along. We'll have NMJL Cards available to borrow for class if you don't have one yet.

Brewpoint Coffee offers a bright, welcoming space that’s perfect for learning and connecting with others. Brewpoint’s coffee, tea, and treats will be available for purchase. Minimum purchase of one beverage please.

We’ll begin promptly at 9:30 am, so please arrive early to order a drink, find your seat, and get settled before class begins.
