WHO'S IT FOR?
Running Hong Kong mahjong on autopilot and feeling like a one-trick pony? Tired of every Hong Kong mahjong game feeling like a negotiation about house rules? Ever joined a table where someone suddenly announces a rule you've never heard of mid-game because they also play mahjong somewhere else with other Chinese people? You're not alone!
If you love Hong Kong mahjong but crave consistency, strategy, and the thrill of learning a standardized game, MCR is your answer. This one-day intensive class teaches you the official tournament standard created by China's State Sports Commission to transform mahjong from a gambling pastime into a legitimate mind sport. With an 8-point minimum to win, MCR strips away luck and demands strategy—so much so that players call it "Hygienic Mahjong." This version of mahjong draws from regional variants (Guangdong, Hong Kong Old Style, and Chinese Classical) to create one unified system.
