Building community one tile at a time

Never use a joker in a pair

Kasumi and Brigid met at an open play mahjong game right here in the Rivertowns. After many shared tables, open games, and tournaments, they discovered a mutual love for the game and its intricate beauty. Kasumi is known for memorizing each year’s card so thoroughly she can play without one (yes, really!). She knows the game inside and out, from rules and variations to strategy, flow, and table dynamics. Brigid is drawn to the patterns, aesthetics, and rhythm of the game, and brings a background in marketing, branding and design.

At their tables, mahjong is approachable, supportive, and fun. Kasumi and Brigid love helping players build confidence, whether that means learning the rules, refining strategy, or simply settling into the flow of the game. They believe mahjong should feel welcoming while still honoring its depth and challenge.

Their goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable, capable, and excited to play anywhere the tiles take you. With the right balance of ease and a little friendly competition, mahjong becomes something you can truly sink into and return to again and again.

Sunday, July 12
2:00 to 5:00PM

Ready to take your game to the next level? This afternoon of mahjong is designed for players who know the basics and are ready to dig a little deeper.

We're keeping this group intentionally small so that Brigid and Kasumi can move around the room, answer questions, and offer guidance on gameplay and strategy throughout the afternoon. Expect a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where no question is too small and everyone is working toward the same goal.

Whether you’re still getting comfortable reading the 2026 NMJL card, want to sharpen your calling instincts, or just want more table-time with friendly faces nearby, this is the afternoon for you. We’ll have tasty treats to keep you fortified as you play!

Check-in begins at 2:00PM, and play will start as soon as your table is seated.

By purchasing a ticket, you agree to allow photos and videos taken during the event to be used for promotional and marketing purposes. Tickets are non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, participants will receive a refund.
