@j312596p, it definitely can be challenging! Is that what keeps you coming back, or are you still getting the hang of it? If you enjoy playing online, AARP Games has several Mahjongg games to choose from. Do you have a favorite yet?

My neighbor invited me to play, and I found it interesting

@MargaretH923938, what a great way to get started! Are you still playing with your neighbor, or have you tried playing online too? If you’d like to practice, AARP Games has a whole collection of Mahjongg games you can try. Which version of Mahjongg are you learning?

I went on line to play Mahjong and was hooked.  Good on using your brain where things go.

I thought this was too hard to learn and only for people who knew what they were doing, very clique oriented.  It isn’t.  I was hooked the minute I started.  Advice-just try it. You aren’t playing against anyone, so no one to judge.

I agree ​@SharonT665155 . It’s also very good for eye-hand coordination, as well as memory recall.

Three years ago my friend asked me to learn at our Senior Center. Three volunteers helped us for the first few months. I always wanted to learn to play so I was thrilled. We play every Tuesday at our SC. Our library also sponsors game space and kits. Check out your libraries, senior centers and community centers.

I first saw the Mahjongg game on AARP.  I also see other people playing the game at the local library on certain days.
