Open your mind to Mahjong and learn from an expert!
Mahjong is a game like no other, filled with tiles, strategies, and a little bit of luck. Learn everything from identifying the tiles and navigating the Mahjong card, to setting up a game, dealing, and mastering the Charleston (this part is important!). Plus, we’ll explore different variations of play. There’s something for everyone, and you’ll get plenty of practice to sharpen your skills. Longtime Omaha resident and experienced educator Silvia Conley, who has introduced hundreds to the art of assembling a winning hand and the joy of camaraderie through American Mahjong, will be leading the engaging classes.
What is American Mahjong?
American Mahjong is a fun twist on the traditional Chinese tile game, played with 152 tiles and a unique card that changes each year. The goal? To draw and discard tiles to form winning combinations based on the card’s sequences and patterns. With “Jokers” and a tile-exchange round called the “Charleston,” this version of Mahjong adds layers of excitement and strategy that’ll keep you on your toes! It’s the perfect mix of luck and skill, making it a popular pastime.
