Getting started: Lessons are given in the special Jekyll Island version of Mah Jongg. Following lessons, you can join a group.
Games: Tong meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.
National Mah Jongg
The National version of Mah Jongg is also played on Jekyll. This group meets weekly for a game and lunch.
