About SB House of Mahjong

ChatGPT Image Jul 21, 2026, 03_54_25 PM.png

SB House of Mahjong offers personal small group tuition of Hong Kong Mahjong. Our sessions are thoughtfully curated, supportive and joyful. Every Mahjong table has its own etiquette and quirks, all you need to play is a sense of humour. 


At the heart of our approach is our house rule of play: keep it simple.

Our motto is one hand is for your tiles and the other is for your drink of choice.

 

Hong Kong Mahjong is not played in pairs and there is no book or card directing your every move. Instead, Samantha, the tiles and a little luck will guide you through each round. Every lesson will build confidence and a deeper appreciation for the game.


Whether you are brand new to Mahjong or already playing, there is always a seat for you at our table. At SB House of Mahjong, we celebrate every gorgeous winner and let them have their moment.


Learn Mahjong in Melbourne in the Malvern area and on the Mornington Peninsula, including the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.
