Mah Jongg Playtime: Beyond Beginners


Adult / Lifelong Learning -
Adult Fall 2025

You've seen her on KSTP's Twin Cities Live! They call her Abbe Mah Jongg. We call her fabulous! Don't be fooled by imitations. Abbe is a seasoned teacher who has taught well over 1,000 students the tips and strategies that make Mah Jongg so special. No one else has the emotional and intellectual connection to the Mah Jongg game that she has.

Playtime Beyond Beginners is a fun morning or evening of Mah Jongg. Are you ready? We are gathering players for an easy “meet up” of casual Mahj play with the option of getting some additional coaching from instructor, Abbe Blacker, who will be on hand to help make strategic, winning suggestions to you during the games. Mah Jongg is an excellent way to bond with family and friends, create community, and keep you quick on your toes!

* Note: Participants should have at least a basic understanding of the mechanics of the game. Although there will be an instructor on hand to help players with assistance as needed, this is not a beginner’s class.
