Have to brag on last night’s students for a second. Completely new to the game and STARTED by playing TWOSIES. I couldn’t stop telling them how impressed I was with them! Such a fun date night idea 💕 Tiles and mat:

We get this question all the time! While there are a ton of accessories that are nice to have, there are really just a few things you need to get started playing. Mahjong can be an expensive hobby to get into so we wanted to break down your must haves vs optional items :) - add them slowly or go all in and get it all!! DM us for more details or links/discount codes!

Prepping for Galentine lessons we have tonight and reminiscing on this fun girl gang from January! Many of them come from families that play and even have vintage hand me down tiles which always makes our hearts swoon! Not only do we love the intergenerational sharing of the game, we love the reminder that while tiles can be pricey, they are and can be an heirloom passed down for many generations to come!

Flowers are cool and all but can we get some jokers for v day this year?!

Looking back at all of the causes we were able to support in 2024 has us 🥹. I watched most of these organizations provide life-changing (and saving) resources to my former students throughout my teaching career. How special is it that I now get to support them?! It’s hard to describe how meaningful it truly is to me (Sallie 🤗). In addition to these fabulous organizations, we were able to support 2 Title 1 school PTOs, 5 more local elementary schools and - WE’RE SO GRATEFUL to be able to give back to our community (and others when we feel called) in this way. THANK YOU! Every lesson booked and every ticket sold got us to this point. We’re gearing up to support more wonderful non-profits in 2025. Drop your favorite non-profit below and we’ll add it to our list!! 💕💕

🚨PSA🚨 If you haven’t already, go ahead and place that order for your 2025 NMJL card. We recommend you order directly from the league! Orders should ship out late next month and we can’t wait to dive into the new lines with you as soon as we get our hands on ours!

👋🏼Hi everyone!! Lots of new faces around here so we wanted to reintroduce ourselves and our little business. We’re Sallie and MK, friends and neighbors living in DC. We met on the playground and spent a year trying to get to know each other and get together, but with 6 kids between us, the 1-block distance between our two houses was proving to be too much! When Sallie and her mom taught MK to play mahjong (and she was an instant pro!) something clicked. We suddenly found and/or made the time to get together because we loved playing mahj together! We decided we wanted to share this game with our community and help others connect around the Mahj table (it’s hard making friends as an adult!!!). Over the last YEAR(!!), we’ve met the most incredible people, watched new friendships grow and continuously pinch ourselves looking at this community. Every time a table of strangers exchange numbers at one of our socials, our hearts explode. In keeping with the practice of the NMJL, we donate a portion of our proceeds every month to a local non-profit. As we enter year 2 of business, we cannot thank you enough. We’re so grateful for each and everyone one of you. Thanks for being here!! Love, Sallie and MK

Swipe to organize —> We tell our students to organize by suit, and within suit by number (even though, yes, I didn’t quite get the craks in numerical order 😅). This way you can see patterns within suits and be better prepared for passing/discarding! Dragons can be put with the suit they belong to OR set aside in their own group, your preference! P.S. which hands would you go for with these tiles? What are you discarding first?

Our most frequently asked question - answered!! Our advice:
1. Count how many tiles you have toward each available option.
2. Check the number of pairs in each available line, choose the line with less pairs. Especially if you have a few jokers!
3. Check the discards and exposures to see how many of your needed tiles are already taken for each line.
This advice is for non-tournament play that does not involve blanks ☺️ - good luck!!

You guys loved our Tile x Budget Guide so we’re back with another edition, this time for racks! There are SO many amazing companies out there but we’ve found it’s hard to browse across them so we wanted to make it easier for you! In this guide, we organized the options by size, material and price. If you need help deciding whether your tiles are “small” or “large” we’re happy to help! We have discount codes for many of these companies, we’ll post them in stories/highlights but feel free to DM if urgent! If we don’t have a code, we’d so appreciate you using our links 🥰. ***this is not a comprehensive guide, there are more options out there :)

✨Gift Guide✨For Your Mini Mahj Enthusiast!

Including our favorite way to include kiddos in the game - to fold up into a cozy kid size table for playing - the sweetest book by and about adopted twins secretly swapping homes at the holidays. One grew up celebrating Christmas and the other Hanukkah - plus a few extras like the best flat back earrings for kiddos(and adults) that don’t cause irritation, a no leak water bottle and more!

Looking for something more specific, let us know and we’re happy to help track it down! Link in Bio where will be sharing all the links to our gift guides or comment/ DM us and we can share the link as we have time(no automation service here 😂).

Lunch break mahjong for the win with a visual of breaking the wall and dealing! Did you know we often have school day availability if you and your group prefer to learn during the day instead of after hours? #mahjong #dcmahj #mahjongtips #teach

✨Everyday we’re shuffling✨ We have learned a boat load this first year in business. Something that has surprised us the most, is just how different each set of tiles feels in your hand and sounds when in play! We also love creating content for you all that is both informative and fun! If mahjong tiles or accessories are on your holiday wishlist, we’d love if you’d shop through our links as a way to support us in continuing to create content at no cost and being able to test all the products to be the most informed when helping you all shop! Not every link or code provides us with a commission, but most all of them help a brand know that we’ve recommended them to you❤️ #dcmahj mahjong mahjongteacher WashingtonDC

Another fun mail day @dcmahj and this time we had were lucky enough to have one of our tiny helpers to do the unboxing with us 🫶🏼 @bespoke_mahjong may be known for their automatic tables, but did you know they now have traditional tiles as well? We were the lucky winners of a set of their Springtime Safari line. How fun are they with their vibrant colors, wild cats for jokers and a darling storage bag to boot?! Looking forward to breaking them in very soon. #dcmahj #mahjong #bespokemahjong #washingtondc
