Intermediate Mah Jongg is designed for players who already understand the basic rules of play and have had some experience playing the game and wish to further develop their skills. The goals of the class include better understanding of reading the Mah Jongg card, developing strategies for choosing the hand of play, strategies for defensive play, and increasing the speed of play. There is plenty of time to practice all of these skills and have a great time!

Facilitator: Ronni Rice, a.k.a. Marvelous Mrs. Mahj fell asleep countless nights to the sound of tapping Mah Jongg tiles; her mom, grandmother, aunt, and all their friends played regularly. Though her mom offered to teach her how to play, she didn’t think it was cool for a kid to play. It wasn’t until her own kids were in elementary school that she was reintroduced to the game and her love affair began.

In 2018, a friend enlisted her help in creating a group whose goal was simply to play more Mahj and to teach others. Mahjong for Beginners and More was born with an initial roster of sixteen players, which subsequently grew until they had over 160+ players in their group. Post-Covid, Marvelous Mrs. Mahj was born to continue her goal to teach and spread her love of Mah Jongg. "It is a powerful tool for our brain and soul, enriching our lives mentally, socially and emotionally."
