Thank You for Taking a Seat
Gracey Tile Club PDX started with a pretty simple idea: create a place where people could learn American Mahjong, find people to play with, and feel like they belonged at the table.
And you did.
Whether you came to Mahjong 101, joined an Open Play, brought friends to a private table, followed along online, or simply told someone about the club, thank you.
This community is growing because of the people sitting at the tables. I'm really glad you're one of them.

Destash to Restash
Apparently running a Mahjong club also means developing strong opinions about tiles, mats, racks and all the pretty things that make a table.
So I'm making some room. Each month I'll offer a few gently used Gracey Tile Club PDX pieces to members first, at a discount, before I restash the tables. All pieces are gently used and well taken care of. Proof of purchase provided upon request.
