America’s new social obsession, mahjong has become younger, cooler, trendier, and bigger postpandemic—though not without debate over commercialization and cultural appropriation.
Tiles are flying around brownstones, sororities, warehouses, corporate off-sites and country clubs from Chicago to Miami to Dallas.
Everyone who’s anyone is playing, from Blake Lively to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (who has a “Mahj Squad”). The game is also minting its own celebrities and fueling dramas that could pass for reality TV plotlines.
To understand the boom, WSJ's Jamie Waters embarked on a monthlong mahjong adventure. He spent more than 12 hours learning—visiting New York clubs and a “mahjong retreat” in Connecticut that was exactly as bougie as it sounds.
