An online course that walks you through the Hong Kong style of mahjong and develops skills that help you play any style of mahjong.
Game Geeks News is proud to bring you another great gaming project currently running on Kickstarter. Mona is a disability artist and brain injury, survivor. At times, she lost the ability to walk, read, and speak. However, she could still remember how to play mahjong. When her disability became severe, she tenaciously pursued progress by using mahjong to remember how to function and interact with others. She eventually improved enough to develop a course around mahjong and how she recalled it. She now wants to share her course with you!.
Mona Remedios Stickley makes Mahjong easy for anyone to play with simple step-by-step videos and written instructions with beautiful images. Her method of teaching takes you from absolute beginner to building some advanced hands at a pace you control.
With Mahjong Party, you can study and practice at your own pace following an online course that includes video, pdf, and quizzes. The easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions are built to move you from zero experience to playing some advanced techniques by the time you complete the course! Not a fan of sitting down to learn a course? This course is available in an app, so you can learn wherever you go. Mona’s lessons are also short in nature so that you can absorb information in short spurts and then let it sink in before moving on to the next topic.
A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE
With Mahjong Party you get a great learning experience!
● How to pick up essential skills FAST
● Recognize tiles QUICKLY
● Build ADVANCED hands while still learning the game
● RETAIN what you learn
● Experience the BEAUTIFUL design of our course and books
There are currently two courses to choose from. The quick-start method will get you up and running quickly so you can play online or with your family and friends in no time flat. If you join others at a table for mahjong, you will need to have at least one person who is very familiar with the game at your table, as you are learning essential skills, not everything. You will learn how to recognize every mahjong tile quickly and effectively. You will learn gameplay basics, how to make mahjong hands and some advanced level hands. You will not learn aspects of the game that are unnecessary when you are starting out. If you play online, these aspects of the game are taken care of for you. If you are playing with other people, they can take care of these aspects of the game while you focus on building your skills and gaining experience.
The Quick-Start Method has 33 lessons that are rolled out over a 3-month period. As a Kickstarter backer, you get a 30% discount on the regular price of $51.99. You will have lifetime access to the course. As well, and Mona will be adding courses to the line-up. You will automatically have access to any new or upgraded courses added to The Quick Start Method over the lifetime of the course.
The Full Course covers all aspects of the game. You begin by focusing on the essential skills, build speed and efficiency, and then progress to making advanced level hands. Mahjong Party then takes you deeper and teaches you the rules and gameplay, etiquette and mannerisms, the very complex scoring and money aspect of Hong Kong-style mahjong, and brings in some higher-level hands.
The Full Course has 52 lessons that are rolled out over a 6-month period. Kickstarter backers get 30% off the regular price of $82.99. You will have lifetime access to the course. As well, we will be adding some courses to the line-up, you will automatically have access to any new or upgraded courses added to The Full Course.
