A new gathering place for Valley mahjong enthusiasts has officially opened its doors in Scottsdale, offering players a dedicated space to learn, practice, and enjoy one of the world’s most enduring strategy games.

The Phoenix Mahjong Club, which has grown steadily through pop‑up events and community meetups, has launched its first permanent venue, giving both beginners and seasoned players a consistent home for play. The Scottsdale location features organized sessions, instructional classes, and social events designed to build a welcoming, intergenerational community around the game.

Club organizers say the new space was created to meet rising demand. Interest in mahjong has surged nationwide in recent years, particularly among players seeking a social, mentally stimulating activity that blends tradition with friendly competition.

At the Scottsdale venue, members can participate in structured games, join leagues, or sign up for lessons that introduce newcomers to the rules, tiles, scoring, and etiquette of American‑style mahjong. The club emphasizes accessibility, offering guidance for first‑time players and opportunities for more advanced players to sharpen their skills.

Membership includes access to regular play sessions, special events, and a growing network of local players. The club also hosts themed gatherings and community‑building activities aimed at making the space more than just a gaming venue.

Organizers say their goal is to create a vibrant hub where people can connect, unwind, and enjoy the strategic depth of mahjong in a friendly, supportive environment.
