Learn beginner Mahjong at Coeur d'Alene Public Library

COEUR d’ALENE — The Coeur d’Alene Public Library will host a Beginner Chinese Mahjong Class starting Oct. 16, and reservations are being accepted.

Chinese Beginner Mahjong is a social, four-player tile game of skill, strategy and an excellent mental workout. The tiles are based on Chinese characters and symbols, but you don’t need to speak Chinese to play.

In this Beginner Class, new players are introduced to the tiles, the Chinese International Mahjong basic rules of play and those folks who would like to learn and have fun. Class size requires a minimum of four people to a maximum of 12.

Participants should plan to attend all four sessions offered on Tuesdays, 1 to 3 p.m., Oct. 16, 23 and 30, and Nov. 6 in the library’s Gozzer Room.
