SIGN UP: Kalmia Game Night Cluster #2
-
Meeting times TBD* | Groups of 3 or 4 needed | Meets at members’ homes | Leader: Karin Parker
Mah Jongg is a classic tile game of strategy and skill, played with beautifully engraved tiles featuring Chinese characters and symbols. Players draw and discard tiles to form matching sets and sequences, racing to complete a winning hand before others do. It’s a game that combines logic, memory, and intuition—with plenty of table talk and friendly rivalry along the way. Join our Mah Jongg club to enjoy the challenge, the laughter, and the shared tradition of this timeless game.
*Since this is a new cluster, how often and on what day/time per week we meet with be dependent on the consensus of the group. Please indicate your preference on the sign-up sheet. We will take turns playing in members’ homes. A complete game is a group of 4; however, it can be played with a minimum of 3. If there are more interests then we will add another table of players.
