The Design History of Mahjong Tiles

Mahjong is more than a game — it is a visual record of cultural history. Join Ruoyi Jiang, author of Mahjong for Dummies and founder of Chop Suey Club, for an immersive exploration of the artistry behind the tiles.

We will decode the evolution of mahjong’s iconic designs, from their roots in Chinese philosophy to the regional variations that emerged as the game went global. Discover how these intricate patterns are inextricably tied to the game’s strategy and spirit.

The Workshop: Following the talk, join us for a hands-on session where you will design your own mahjong tile, blending traditional symbolism with your own creative vision.

Tickets are $15 each.
