Mahjong Workshop @ JB Duke Hotel
Tiles, tradition and a touch of friendly competition come together for a distinctive night out at the AAA Four Diamond JB Duke Hotel.
On Wednesday, May 27, the hotel’s MarketPlace Bar will host a fun and welcoming Advanced Beginners Mahjong Workshop. Designed for those who have taken a lesson or two, this session offers a deeper dive into the nuances of Mahjong in a supportive, relaxed environment. The hotel’s chic space transforms into a lively game hall where advanced beginners can refine their skills, build confidence and strengthen strategy through immersive, play-focused table time and extended guided play led by seasoned experts from Durham’s Bull City Mahjong. Settle in with fellow players for an engaging, social experience centered on steady progression and an enjoyable return to the tiles.
Food and beverages are available for purchase throughout the evening, the perfect complement to good company and great play.
Originating in 19th-century China, Mahjong has long been valued for its thoughtful mix of skill, strategy and chance. Its iconic tiles, each marked with detailed imagery and symbolism, bring a sense of history and artistry to every round. Today, the game is experiencing a renewed wave of interest, drawing players who appreciate its balance of focus and connection.
