mahjPDX was created to bring people together around the growing popularity of American Mahjong. What started as a personal passion has become a vision for building a welcoming, vibrant community where experienced players and newcomers alike can connect, learn, and enjoy the game.

As interest in American Mahjong continues to grow, mahjPDX aims to be a central hub in Portland for open play, friendly competition, and shared learning. Whether you're picking up the tiles for the first time or have years of experience, there’s a seat at the table for you.

Looking ahead, MahjPDX plans to host open play sessions, organized tournaments, and a variety of events designed to make Mahjong more accessible, social, and fun for everyone.
