What it is

Ménage à Mahj is a teaching business in the Madison-Ridgeland area of Mississippi, run by friends Megan and Martine. It teaches American Mah Jongg to beginners in one three-hour, small-group class (at most eight students), held in a dedicated poolhouse classroom. The pair taught their first class in September 2023 and say they have now taught more than 1,000 Mississippians in 150-plus classes. Graduates are invited into their players’ network, the Mississippi Mahj Club.
