We will teach you how to play Mahjong if you are new to the game. The whole demonstration of how to play will be 30mins. Then you can play with other players on your own.
If you are a master already, you can get teamed up with an advanced group to engage in a more serious game. If you arrive earlier or later, doesn’t matter, talk to other people around the Mahjong table, they are most probably fellow students or other languages enthusiasts.

It's also free! Book to secure your space now!
