The best place to play!I absolutely love playing mahjong with The Mah Jongg Gallery, Reading MA at Empower on Haven! It’s such a wonderful group of people, and the atmosphere is always warm, friendly and welcoming. Whether you’re a newbie just learning the game 🙋‍♀️ or an experienced player, everyone makes you feel comfortable and included. It’s about so much more than mahjong — it’s about meeting lovely people, sharing laughs, learning together, and having a great time. If you’ve been thinking about trying mahjong, I can’t recommend this group enough! 🀄❤️

“I am a Mah Jongg beginner who was excited to get into a 3 hour Strategy class taught by Jill and Deb. It was like being a kid in a candy store - so many tasty tips and tricks! Not only do they know (and love) this game, but they know how to teach and guide! They explain things so clearly, have a wonderful sense of humor, and really empower learners. Thank you Jill and Deb for ALL you are doing to help us develop our Mah Jongg skills🙏 Pam B”
