 Private Mahjong Lessons

in Denver

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.

For non-private lessons, visit our events page (best for < 4 people)
