Yesterday was an incredible night. We had 4 tables running simultaneously, and our friend from The Yakumen visited and brought his autotable with him for us to play on. (Thank you Brendan! 💖) Multiple people also showed up to learn to play as well!

Did you know that the UCIMC where the mahjong pit lives also is home to a lot of other cool organizations and events? There's a lot of fun things to do when you stop in for a hanchan~

What a fantastic weekend. SO many people showed up to play and learn riichi! Thanks so much to our volunteers, to UICon staff, but ESPECIALLY to all the congoers who came to play. 💖
Our normal meetups will resume in the mahjong pit next Saturday and I hope we see some new faces there!
