13 Orphans & Baba's House is excited to host longtime mahjong friend Nicole Wong, creator of The Mahjong Project, for a mahjong night and book signing party! Her brand new book Mahjong is a step-by-step guide on how to play and a showcase of mahjong culture, past and present. Join us on Wednesday, April 30th for a chill evening of mahjong in our new expanded space. Nicole will be hanging out all evening to sign books and play "blocks" (as her family likes to call mahjong). Baba's instructors Agnes and Jordan will be on-site to help with gameplay.
