American Mah Jongg Lessons with Annie

Everything I Bring

Show up. I'll handle the rest.

Fully set card tables with all tiles, racks, mats, and accessories.
Official National Mah Jongg League cards for every guest — the required $15 card purchased on your behalf. If you already have this year's card, just bring it!
