Ready for a little friendly competition? The Central MA Mahjong League brings independent players together for structured seasonal play in our Grafton studio. Players rotate tables, track weekly standings, and enjoy several weeks of friendly competition and community at the table.
League is designed for players who are comfortable playing American Mahjong independently. Seasonal leagues are offered throughout the year, with registration opening separately for each season. Current and upcoming League dates can be found on the Central MA Mahjong schedule.
Open Play is designed for players who are comfortable playing American Mahjong independently. While occasional questions are always welcome, this is not an instructional session. Players should be familiar with the flow of the game—including the Charleston, turn sequence, and general NMJL procedures—and be comfortable playing independently so everyone can enjoy a relaxed, social pace of play.
If you're still building confidence or aren't sure whether you're ready for Open Play, Guided Play offers a supportive environment with coaching to help you transition comfortably into independent play.
Not sure which session is the best fit?
Feel free to reach out before registering. I'm always happy to help you choose the session where you'll feel the most comfortable and have the most enjoyable experience.

Registration
Please sign up in advance to reserve your seat. Seats are confirmed once your Venmo payment is received. If payment isn’t received within 24 hours, the seat will be released.

Guided Play is designed for players who already know the basics of American Mahjong and can comfortably play a full game. It is not a beginner lesson. Whether you've recently completed Beginner Foundations, learned somewhere else, or simply want more practice before joining Open Play, this session provides a supportive environment to strengthen your skills.
This is a relaxed, social play session with coaching available throughout the evening. I'll answer questions, help you work through challenging situations, reinforce game flow and NMJL procedures, and help you develop confidence, strategy, and pace of play—all while playing real hands of Mahjong.
