VIRTUAL GIG The Pivot Playbook Workshop 2026
2026-02-11 19:00 - 21:00
The Pivot Playbook is your guide for making smart switches when your hand is weakened or wounded. Think of it like a football playbook: it shows you what to look for, why it matters, and how to act—all in real-time at the table.

In this special 2-hour virtual workshop exploring how mah jongg can be more than a game—it can be the glue that binds players together through shared experiences, confidence at the table, and meaningful community.

Hosted by Mahj Life and sponsored by MAHJourneys with Little Miss Mahjong, this interactive session blends thoughtful instruction with inspiration for players who love learning, traveling, and connecting with others through mah jongg. Whether you play socially or enjoy the challenge of competitive formats, this workshop invites you to see the game through a wider lens.

As part of the experience, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at a truly distinctive mah jongg journey: a luxury Vancouver–Alaska roundtrip cruise sailing September 12–19, 2026, where mah jongg is woven throughout the voyage. From social play and tournament-style games to mah jongg–themed activities set against breathtaking scenery and elegant onboard experiences, this is not your average mah jongg cruise. Come with friends—or join solo—and be part of something intentionally designed to connect players who share a love of the game.
