Who we are

Missy Mahjong convinced a group of women to take a mahjong lesson with her. The first lesson was on a dark, January day, so there wasn’t much else to do here in Nashville.

​

Those first beginner players were immediately captivated by the game. The stage was set for Nashville’s first mahjong social club. The new players told their friends to come to the mall and learn to play. Once that new group of players learned, they told their friends and coworkers and family. Players that had learned elsewhere also started showing up to play. Within a few months, we grew into what we are today: hundreds of local mahjong players looking for the next tile game.

​

In Nashville, this group of mahjong enthusiasts have all come together to play a challenging game and make new friends at the table. Music City Mahjong was created for players of all experience levels.

The experienced players teach the beginners. There is a seat for everyone at the table.

Experienced players can come to help teach tips and tricks, guide tables, try new cards, play with the latest tile sets and tell mahj stories. The game is constantly evolving and there is always a new table rule to try.

​

Beginner players can take an informal lesson with Missy Mahjong or one of her affiliated teachers. These lessons are casual, so the players can really dive in and start playing within two hours.

Missy and her teachers don’t charge for these lessons during Music City Mahjong events, they teach for the love of the game and to find more people to add to the mahjong community.

​

At a Music City Mahjong open play, friendships are made. All the players disconnect from phones and social media and connect in real life at the table. Everyone is focused, courteous and present.

Nashville is a growing and changing city. There is a foundation of Southern hospitality mixed with adventurous spirit. Most women that join the Music City Mahjong group come alone or with one other friend to learn the first time.  After that, everyone comes solo, but to meet up with their new mahjong friends.

​

There is something to be said about meeting new people of all different ages and backgrounds. We are a group of women that embrace individual personalities and game styles. Music City Mahjong is its own, very special community. We hope to see you at the table soon!
