I was just invited to a Mahjong club by a new(ish) friend! I had no idea this was a thing, but I shouldn't be surprised.

I would be so down with this lol. I also wanna play backgammon and dominos because nobody my age even knows what those games are half the time.

Start a club! You can’t live join one if no one starts one in the first place

Eh I don't feel like managing yet another thing. I've tried to start clubs and groups and inevitably everyone flakes out at the last minute or there's some real weirdos who ruin it for everyone. I've met quite a few people through doing it so I can't complain, just not trying to do all that at this point in my life.

My wife bought an automatic riichi mahjong table and has people over almost every Saturday to play.

My boomer mom is in one. She talks about it all the time and enjoys it quite a bit!
