Helen -
Please see Page 43 of the Recreation News:
http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/a...es/recnews.pdf

Mah Jong players are everywhere and I would suggest you call one of the names listed with each group or
go a little early to one of the Open groups on the list and you can usually find someone looking for another player.

I think I counted up 35 Mah-Jongg games at one time and I know more have been added. You will find plenty of people to play with. Just go into one of the games and usually some one is looking for a fourth player. That's what I did and I know play at least three times a week.

Fabulous!
 
We just bought a home in The Villages and as soon as we sell ours in Miami we will move. I can't wait to get back to Mah Jongg --haven't played in over a year.

There's also many Mah Jongg games played in people's homes. You can usually find a group, start as a sub and end up playing that way, too.

Other games that are played constantly in the rec centers and at homes are Hand and Foot, Triple Play and Samba (all variations of canasta); pinochle; bridge.

You can find almost any card or board game being played at least once a week somewhere in TV.

Thousands of players at every level. Daily games at Rec Centers. Free lessons. TV is Mah Jongg Heaven.

free lessons
 
It has been many years since I have played Mah Jongg. Where do you go for brush up lessons?

If you live near 466a, Truman has a great and friendly class at 9am Wed. mornings at 9am. Sandy is the instructor, and she is the greatest. Usually, one plays with her at the lesson table for about 3 weeks. Then her people get eased in with folks at the other tables.

Mah Jongg
 
Do most people play Mah Jong League rules (as opposed to Military or Asian)?

Yup, most play with the stupid cards. ;-) You can buy the cards at The Purple Pig in LSL. Large print probably sold out but they usually have a few of the regular print cards available year round.
