Geographical sorting may occur based on a standard geographical classification used in the country, state, postal code, or following a general direction. If none are available, a generic direction should be used (North, South, East or West).

We gather 4 times a week in two venues: every friday, saturday and sunday at our jansō in La Plaine area, and every thursday in a game bar called Le Nain Jaune. There are about 15 regulars and a few players that come from time to time, with all ranges of level. We are always happy to teach mahjong and help players get stronger so no need to be shy!
