Lessons
Just ready the table.
We bring the rest.
No experience needed — pull up a chair. We teach American mahjong in your own home, with warmth and patience. You ready a table and gather your people; everything else arrives with us.
Learn at your own pace.
Your host arrives, sets up the table in your home, and teaches the way a good friend would: patient, hands-on, unhurried. You'll learn the tiles, play real hands, and by the end you'll already be thinking about who to invite to the next one. Total beginners are not just welcome — they're who we teach best.
Everything included
One price, the whole table
Every lesson comes with the full kit — tiles, mats, racks, tile grabbers, the official card and a beginner guide to keep — and a host who teaches hands-on the whole way through. You set out a table, some chairs, and the people you'd like to learn with.

You don’t need to know
a single thing.
Genuinely. Please don't watch a video or study the rules beforehand — it tends to make the first lesson harder, not easier. Come empty-handed and curious. Your host introduces everything at the table, in context, and gently redirects any move that isn't quite right. There's no embarrassment, because there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone's learning.
No rulebook, no quiz
We don't hand you a laminated card to memorize. You learn in the flow of a real game, in context, as it comes up.
Everyone was new once
Most people we teach have never touched a tile. You'll have plenty of company in not knowing — and a host who's seen every first hand.
Playing within the hour
We introduce the tiles as we deal, so you're playing fast. By the end, most people can't believe how quickly it clicked.

Common questions
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Most of the people we teach have never touched a tile. Please don’t study beforehand — come curious and we’ll have you playing real hands within the hour.
Where do the lessons happen?
In your own home. We come to you — you host, we bring the whole table. Lessons run across South Denver: Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Lone Tree, Parker, Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills.
What do I need to provide?
Just a table big enough for everyone to sit around, some chairs, and your people. We bring the tiles, mats, racks, tile grabbers, the American mahjong card and a beginner guide — everything the game needs.
What’s included in a lesson?
Tiles, mats, racks, tile grabbers, the American mahjong card, a beginner guide, and a host who teaches hands-on the whole way through. You provide the table and the company — there’s nothing extra to buy.

Two simple options: a private lesson (1–2 players) is $120 per person, and a group lesson (4–8 players) is $75 per person. Every lesson includes all the equipment, the card, the beginner guide and hands-on play.
