Mah Jongg 102 in Midland, Michigan is an intermediate workshop that pushes beyond the basics and into the tactical play that separates casual players from confident table leaders. Taught by Emily Cote and Julie Beard, this two hour course meets Mondays October 19 and 26 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and welcomes players aged 16 and up who already know tile fundamentals. Bring your National Mah Jongg League card and be ready to unpack dead hands, blind passes, misnamed tiles, and the trickier hands that routinely stump intermediate players. The class is intentionally small with a group cap of 16 so instruction stays hands on and interactive rather than lecture driven. Expect table level demonstrations of tile handling, discard strategy, rack management, and point building exercises that convert abstract rules into repeatable plays. Key features of the session are the standard American Mah Jongg tiles and racks, the National Mah Jongg League card used to define playable hands, and step by step drills designed to speed decision making at the table. What makes this offering notable in Midland is the way a compact classroom becomes a social engine for local players and visiting travelers alike. In a city better known for riverfront walks and neighborhood cafes this workshop acts as an entry point to local culture and friendships without a long seasonal commitment. The instructors keep the mood encouraging and efficient, translating confusing rule language into actionable choices and giving each student targeted feedback during practice hands. Practical details are clear: bring your current Mah Jongg card, this course is not intended for absolute beginners, plan for two hours, and expect to leave with multiple concrete plays to test at your next game night. For visitors looking to extend the experience, grab a coffee or take a short stroll along Midland downtown streets to untangle new strategies while watching river activity. This class is a good fit for players who want measurable improvement, social connection, and compact instruction that respects adult schedules. It is learning shaped for immediate use at casual tables and league nights, and it’s a friendly way to plug into Midland’s local game community in a single afternoon. Whether you are a visiting player passing through Midland or a resident wanting to sharpen your seasonal game this short series compresses useful theory into practice. The casual format reduces pressure while the instructors emphasize reproducible habits: counting tiles, tracking discards, adapting quickly to changing hands. Students frequently report increased confidence and faster decision making after just one session. Because the class meets twice on consecutive Mondays it offers repetition and reinforcement without a long commitment, making it ideal for busy schedules and for anyone wanting immediate progress.
