More than a class.
It's a community.

We're a bonus mom, bonus daughter duo who has done so much life together that we figured — why not build something together around a game we love, so we can show people love in the process.

Beginner-Friendly, Always

No experience needed. Our classes are designed from the ground up for players who are brand new to the game.

Real Community

Open play, themed nights, and retreats — because mahjong is meant to be played together, not just learned in isolation.

A Place to Belong

We're here to teach you how to play — but more than that, we're here to give you a place to belong, build memories, and find joy at our table.

Connection, Encouragement, Belonging
Beautiful mahjong set

"Connection, encouragement, and belonging — at every table."

From Our Players

What the table is saying.

I had zero experience and was honestly a little nervous. By the end of the Bootcamp I felt ready to sit down at any table. Best Saturday I've spent in years.

Sarah M. Bootcamp Graduate

The themed nights are so much fun. It's not just mahjong — it's a whole event. I've met some of my favorite people around that table.

Jennifer L. Monthly Player

I bought my own set after Mahjong 102 and started hosting games at home. Grand Tile Society gave me the confidence I didn't know I was missing.
