Common questions

Which style of mahjong is taught?

Listings state the style where the organizer publishes it — American mahjong (National Mah Jongg League rules) is the most common in the US, with Hong Kong and Japanese Riichi groups in some cities. Check the class detail page before booking.

How much do mahjong classes cost?

Standing clubs at libraries and community centers are often free, while multi-week beginner series at studios and museums typically run $25–$75 per session or a series fee. Every price shown was published by the organizer on its own website.

Do I need my own mahjong set?

Usually not — classes and clubs provide sets and cards for play. The detail page notes materials where the organizer publishes them.
