Both physicians share the same philosophy: Mahjong can support cognitive wellness, reduce stress, encourage socialization, and create meaningful community.
We do not just teach the rules. We help players understand the card, the Charleston, strategy, etiquette, and how to make decisions independently.
From Mahjong 101 and guided practice to Open Play, pop-ups, and special events—find your next seat at the table.
For brand-new players. No experience needed. We provide the equipment. Check the event listing to see whether the current NMJL card is included or must be purchased separately.
For players who already completed a beginner lesson but still want guided practice before attending regular Open Play. Bring the current NMJL card.
For guests who already know the basics and can play with limited assistance. Each session lists its recommended skill level. Bring the current NMJL card. Sets are available unless the listing says otherwise.
Book a private Mahjong experience for friend groups, birthdays, team events, and celebrations at one of our locations or a venue of your choice. We bring the game to your group, whether everyone is brand new or already plays.
All lessons, workshops, Open Play, and special events are booked online, with live dates, prices, availability, and registration. We teach National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) style play. Beginners are always welcome, and guests do not need to be patients of Unique Health Now.
Our home base is in Elgin, with regular pop-ups in South Barrington and events throughout the suburbs. Check each event listing for where it takes place.
