Hong Kong Chicken League - Saturday Matches
Sale price
$65.00
Four saturdays of low-pressure matches.
A league for those who've taken our Hong Kong beginner class and now want to practice what they've learned.
What is The Chicken League?
-
A beginner-friendly, low-pressure, supportive series of weekly sessions for players to focus on learning through real play. The "Saturday Matches" group plays only on...Saturdays!
- A great bridge between class and learning how to play using the faan-laak table for scoring. If you don’t know what that is, but know how to make four sets a pair, then this is the place for you.
- You do not need to know how to score or have taken the Advanced Hong Kong class to join! There are no negative points like in traditional mahjong!
How It Works
- There are TWO Chicken Leagues. You do not need to sign up for both. One group plays on Saturdays, the other on Sundays.
- Each session will be 2 hours long.
- Tables rotate each session to keep things social.
- Play chicken hand rounds. (No points required to win.)
- You can miss weeks, no biggie! Just let us know so that we can find a sub for you!
- Ask Mrs. K for help if you need it! She’ll be around, but she will not be backseat driving! This is your time to practice making choices!
- Track your wins! We will lightly track wins but this is NOT a serious or competitive league.
- At the end of the season, one lucky top player will take home a fancy mahjong set, but remember, the real goal is fun, new friends, and playing mahjong!

Requirements
- You have taken our Hong Kong Beginner Class OR know what a winning hand looks like (4 sets and one pair).
- You are familiar with basic calls: Pong, Kong, Chow, and of course, MAHJONG! It’s okay if you call out the wrong thing sometimes, but you’re not calling out UNO when you mean Pong!
- Your schedule allows for attending at least 2 of the four sessions.
What to expect (Player Etiquette)
- We try our best to adhere to “Say, Show, Do!” We say the call we want to make, expose the tiles, and then do the action. We do not silently throw down two tiles to make a pong without saying a word and then make a frowny face because the next person draws their tile due to not reading your mind!
- We help others at the table. We want to win, but we are all here to learn the game and have a good time!
- We play at a friendly pace and avoid rushing other players or taking too long ourselves!
