Looking for a cozy activity for those cold January nights on the hill? Join us for a three-week mahjong course at Beacon Hill Books & Cafe!
About this Event

Join us for a course of three mahjong lessons with instructor Chilton Ames on January 26, February 2, and February 9 from 6:30-9:00 pm. Mahjong tiles and racks will be provided for use.

$200 course fee for three lessons also includes a custom tote bag, notebook, pen, and National Mahjong League Card.


About the Instructor:

Chilton Ames is a local Mahjong instructor who loves introducing others to what she calls the game of "Peace and Friendship." An avid bridge player for many years, she once thought Mahjong might interfere with her longtime passion for conventions and cards. But after completing her first class, she quickly realized it was a game everyone should add to their toolbox.


Why Play Mahjong?

There are countless reasons! Mahjong is a tile game that challenges the brain, helping sharpen decision-making skills. Experts even suggest that playing regularly may support cognitive health and slow mental decline. Feeling a little blue? Many players find that worries fade away while forming sequences, and the tactile feel and rhythmic sound of the tiles can be deeply soothing.
