Bringing Mahjong to the Community
Mahjong is one of the world’s most enduring and social games, bringing people together through strategy, conversation, and friendly competition. Whether participants are completely new to the game or looking to build confidence in their skills, the Riverbank program is designed to provide a welcoming environment for learning.
Students will learn:
- Tile recognition and gameplay fundamentals
- Basic strategy and decision-making
- Scoring concepts and game flow
- Table etiquette and social play
- Guided practice with instructor support
The program emphasizes both learning and community, helping participants develop new skills while building connections with fellow players.
Powered by Mahjong Academy
Classes will be supported by Mahjong Academy, HeyMahjong’s learning platform dedicated to modern Mahjong education.
Mahjong Academy combines in-person instruction with online learning resources, AI-powered coaching tools, multiplayer practice experiences, and structured training programs.
