What Is Guided Play? Guided Play is practice time with help. Think of it like riding a bike with someone jogging beside you. You already took Mahjong 101 and 102. Now you know the basics, but you may still want support while you play. That is what Guided Play is for. During Guided Play: * You play a real game of mahjong * An instructor is there to help answer questions * You can ask for guidance if you get stuck * You can practice reading your National Mah Jongg League card * You build confidence through practice It is a bridge between lessons and full open play. What Guided Play Is Not Guided Play is not a private lesson. It is not someone playing your hand for you. It is not someone telling you every tile to pick or every move to make. It is not a place to learn Mahjong from the very beginning (that is what 101 and 102 are for). And it is not a tournament or high-pressure game. Think of it Like This * 101 = Learn the rules * 102 = Practice the skills * Guided Play = Practice with a coach nearby * Open Play = Play on your own Guided Play helps you become comfortable enough to sit down and enjoy the game independently. It’s support, not rescue. Practice, not perfection. Learning while playing.
