Mahjong Lessons
American Mahjong is endlessly fun—but it helps to have someone guide you through the first few games.
At Mile High Mahj, we offer beginner-friendly lessons and hands-on, guided play to help you learn the rules, build confidence, and fall in love with the game. Fair warning: once you start playing, you might not want to stop.
