Mahjong Workshop Hong Kong style
Have you always wanted to play mahjong? – no, not those stacked tiles with two of the same from your desktop – Then this is your chance!
Mahjong is a traditional Chinese game with (3 or) 4 players. Several countries in Asia have their own variation of the game. And we will be teaching you the Hong Kong style variation.
Once you understand the rules it is a very addictive and fun game. A good brain training that keeps the mind sharp. It’s about skills, strategy together with luck.
Come alone, with a buddy, or even with four people so you can play together afterwards. To really master mahjong, it is a matter of playing many games after learning the basics. Organize your own mahjong evenings, build your own mahjong community or come to the Level up class.
We have different type of tickets depending on your level, in any case, it promises to be a fun afternoon together!
