FAQ

What is Mahjong?

Mahjong is a 4-player, tile-based game of skill, strategy, and luck developed in the 19th century. Originally a Chinese game, it has many regional variations. This retreat focuses on American Mahjong. It’s a social game that’s easy to learn but offers deep strategic layers, making it perfect for a fun and engaging weekend getaway.

Do I need Mahjong experience?

No. This retreat is designed to teach American Mahjong for beginners and no prior experience is necessary.

How do I get there?

The retreat is located in Poquott, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. It's easily accessible by car, plane, train (LIRR Port Jefferson Station), or the Port Jefferson ferry. We offer pickup/drop-off arrangements as needed, making it the perfect weekend getaway for those in New York City, Connecticut, and the surrounding area. We'll share more detailed travel guides with registered participants.

Is lodging included?

No. This is a commuter retreat, so the $500 covers everything during the day but not a place to sleep. If you are coming from out of town we recommend Danfords Hotel & Marina in Port Jefferson or The Hilton Garden Inn in Stony Brook. Tell us on the signup form whether you are commuting or staying at a hotel and we will plan shuttles between the hotels and the venue.
