Let's make new friends, and play (or learn to play) mahjong. Beginners are always welcome and we will teach you, for free, if you don't know the difference between a chi, a pung, or a kong. Donations towards the cost of running the Meetup website and using the venue will be appreciated. (You can donate cash or e-transfer your donation to kwhuish@hotmail.com. ) This evening's mahjong game will held at the Leong Chong How Tong Association, in the heart of Chinatown. The venue has a small kitchen so feel free to bring snacks or drinks with you if you'd like, especially if you have something to share. We usually have at 5 or 6 mahjong sets and 5 games (or more) going on at the same time, and since there are currently 11 MJ tables and a few MJ sets at this venue, there should be ample room for all. However, if you have a mahjong set you would like to play with, please bring it with you so more people can join in the fun. One or more of the tables is usually set up to play riichi (Japanese mahjong). A standard mahjong game requires 4 players but a 3-player game is also possible if we are ever short of players. There should befree street parkingnear the venue on a Monday evening but it might be more convenient to arrive by C-train if you can, as parking spaces fill up fast, even in winter.
