Beginner Mahjong (Session 102) at Frequency Wine Company
Saturday, July 18th, 2026 (1:00 - 3:00 p.m.)
FOR BEGINNER PLAYERS WITH AT LEAST ONE MAHJONG CLASS COMPLETED.
Already know the tiles? Completed Session 101? Session 102 is for you.
This session moves beyond the basics and into the rhythm of the game. We'll briefly review tile recognition and game setup before diving deeper into the Charleston, strategic tile passing, and navigating the National Mah Jongg League card. You'll begin recognizing patterns, making more independent decisions, and playing guided games with greater confidence. The goal isn't perfection—it's becoming comfortable with the pace, flow, and decision-making that make Mahjong so enjoyable.
Fabulous local wines and cheese boards will be available for purchase through SB Wine Collective and additional food available through Lucky Penny.
