Details AH-JONG (BMJA rules): This is an ancient Chinese game which can be played with 2, 3 or 4 players, with the basic aim of forming 4 sets of tiles plus 1 pair of tiles. It is not the computer game where you match two tiles against the clock. We are a very friendly group and you do not need a partner to play, so if you are looking to try something new with a challenge and have fun at the same time you are most welcome to come and join us. Do not worry if you have never played before, you will taught in easy steps by Martin and Debbie.
