Mah Jongg
Monday, November 9 at Boulder Junction Public Library, Minocqua
About this event
Mah Jongg at the Boulder Junction Public Library is a weekly game of traditional Chinese tiles for four players, and beginners are welcome. The library sits on Park Street in Boulder Junction, a short drive from Minocqua in the Northwoods. It is a quiet, low-key way to spend an afternoon with other players.
What to expect
Four players sit at a square table and take and discard tiles until one of them completes a hand. Because the game uses tiles instead of playing cards, the table fills with the sound of tiles being mixed and built into walls. The group plays American Mah Jongg, an adaptation of the Chinese original made for American players.
Why go
The game is a steady fixture at the library rather than a one-time event, so it suits anyone who wants a regular afternoon routine. Newcomers are welcome, which makes the table an easy first step into the game. It is a good choice for anyone curious about mahjong who wants to learn it in a relaxed setting.
