Question 1

Do I need to bring a mahjong set?

Accepted Answer

Nope!  We'll have all the Mahjong gear available to use.  If you already have a NMJL card of your own, please bring it, otherwise, we'll have some to borrow.

Question 2

I have played Mahjong online.  Is that enough experience for the Open Play?

Accepted Answer

Most likely it's not.  There are lots of Mahjong apps out there, and while they are fun, many of them use Mahjong tile images for a matching style game.  This will give you a little bit of familiarity with the tiles, but the game itself is quite different.
