Hinsdale Mahjong Society: The May Session – 2026 Card Kick Off Series

​The May Session – 2026 Card Integration Series

​The May Session marks the beginning of our transition to the 2026 National Mah Jongg League card.

​First, we will gather for a dedicated 2026 Card Kickoff — an intentional evening focused on understanding the structure of the new card, identifying patterns, and building early strategy.

​The May League will then play exclusively from the 2026 card in a structured, supportive series.

​Designed for connection, clarity, and confident play, not competition.

​2026 Card Kickoff Night: May 5

​Our opening evening will include:

• ​A structured overview of the new card

• ​Key patterns and emerging trends

• ​Strategic guidance on early elimination and hand selection

• ​Common pitfalls to avoid in the first few weeks

• ​A supported first round of play to integrate what we’ve discussed

​Note: This evening is designed for players who already know how to play and are ready to approach the new card with clarity and confidence.

​Following kickoff, we’ll continue with two weeks of supported league play. Those dates are:

​May Supported & Open Play: May 12, May 19

​Throughout the session, tables will be thoughtfully matched and I’ll continue floating to provide light support and resources as needed.

​This is structured social play — designed for consistency, connection, and steady skill-building.

​May Session Dates: May 5, May 12, May 19

​Important Notes

• ​All players must bring a 2026 National Mah Jongg League card

• ​Table seating will be curated based on comfort level

• ​This is a social, structured league — not tournament play

​If life happens (which it does), please provide notice so we may offer your seat to an alternate. One make-up credit per session is available with 7 days notice (space permitting).
