We are back at Blue Pomelo Studio on 8th Street in Gowanus for our last event of the Mahjong Lab series. We'll be doing a Points Class, a workshop dedicated to unlocking Hong Kong-style scoring. Points Class: This session is designed for players who are comfortable with the chicken hand fundamentals and are ready to take their game to the next level: understanding what faan is, how to count it, and how to start building hands with scoring in mind. Your $45 all-inclusive ticket includes: 🀄 Hands-on scoring instruction and guided play with Veronica from Vermilion actively facilitating. 🍬 A curated spread of nostalgic Chinese and Hong Kong snacks, both sweet and savory. Think shrimp chips, haw flakes, bak kwa, White Rabbit candies, and more. (Final snack menu subject to change!) 📱 MJ Candy, our Hong Kong mahjong scoring app, as a reference tool for calculating faan. Great for following along in class and continuing to practice at home. What You'll Learn: 🀄 The fundamentals of Hong Kong-style scoring and how faan works 🀄 How to identify the most common scoring combinations 🀄 How to calculate faan at the end of a hand 🀄 How to start thinking strategically about the hands you build 🀄 Guided play with scoring so you can apply what you've learned in real time Is This Class Right For You? This workshop is for players who already know the basic rules and gameplay of Hong Kong-style mahjong. If you're brand new to the game, we recommend starting with First Sundays at Nin Hao to learn the fundamentals first, and then joining us for this class.
