What is Mahjong and Mingle Social Club?

We are a Chicago-based community dedicated to learning and playing American Mahjong. We provide a welcoming space for people to gather, connect, and enjoy the game in a social, community-focused environment.

Where can I get American Mahjong lessons or open play in Chicago?

The Mahjong and Mingle Social Club offers a variety of American Mahjong events across Chicago for all skill levels. We provide everything from Mahjong 101 lessons for beginners and our guided play "bridge play" experience to regular open play sessions and curated social events—including brunch gatherings and special Saturday classes.

Do I need to be an expert to join event?

Not at all; we welcome all players, from those who have never touched a tile to seasoned pros. Our events are inclusive, conversational, and focused on the social experience rather than intense competition.

Can I attend an event by myself?

Absolutely! We encourage solo attendees to join our gatherings. Our events are intentionally designed to be social spaces where it is easy to meet new people and connect with fellow players in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
