Mahjong 101 with Kim

Join us at The Clubhouse — our intimate event space on Waverly Place in San Francisco's Chinatown — for Mahjong with Kim: Learn & Play! This fun, hands-on two-hour session teaches Hong Kong style Mahjong from scratch, perfect for absolute beginners. You'll get a quick overview of the rules, then jump straight into playing in a relaxed, social setting with personalized guidance throughout. Sessions are intentionally small — just 4 participants — so whether you're coming solo or with friends, you'll leave knowing how to play. *Please note: The Clubhouse is accessible by 3 flights of stairs. Reserve your spot today — this one fills fast.
