“Mah Jongg” is a Chinese word that literally means “sparrows.” It is said that the clacking of tiles during shuffling resembles the chattering of sparrows as they squabble over food crumbs. Mah Jongg was developed in China in the 19th century and introduced into the U.S. as American Mah Jongg in the 1920s. And then Karen Croxton brought it to Jardineros in 2019 as the Interest Group Mah Jongg Mavens. Mah Jongg is a game of skill, strategy and calculation, with a little bit of luck thrown in. The Mah Jongg Mavens meet every Tuesday from 1-4:30 pm at the Placitas Community Senior Center.
