Led by CCA board member and amazing teacher Mary Jane Vinson, this series welcomes players of all skill levels. The focus is on making this historic Chinese tile game fun and accessible for everyone.
“It’s a very fun game that beginners can enjoy,” says CCA Director Lauren McCraney. “Get to know your neighbors and be a part of the community.”
Look out for a Beginner’s Tournament to be held in January!
