🀄 Another First Mahjong!

There’s nothing we love more than seeing another student call MAHJONG! for the very first time. ❤️

What started as a few classes at Grovestone has grown into an incredible Mahjong community and we couldn’t be more proud of what’s happening around our tables.

Grovestone has hosted more public American Mahjong courses in the Champaign area, with class after class selling out. We’ve become the place to:

🀄 LEARN Mahjong — from your very first tile to confident play
🛍️ SHOP Mahjong — with the largest selection of Mahjong tiles, accessories & supplies in Central Illinois
♥️ PLAY Mahjong — with Open Play, special events and a growing community of players

And when you learn at Grovestone, you’re learning from the very best in a space designed to give you the full experience with premium tiles, mats, racks, pushers and everything you need to learn the game the right way.

From Tiles to Table — Learn it. Play it. Love it.™

Our classes continue to sell out, so we’re adding new dates all the time.

If you’ve been watching everyone else have all the fun, maybe it’s time to pull up a chair. 🀄

Come see why Grovestone has become Champaign’s destination for American Mahjong.

👉 New classes are being added now.
📍 Grovestone | Champaign, Illinois
Learn. Shop. Play. Mahjong.
