So much fun celebrating National Mahjong Day with friends! I sent out a text inviting a few tables of players over for a lively night of gaming to mark the occasion, and even had a donut cake made. Who knew champagne paired so well with donuts? My friends all arrived with delicious appetizers to share, although we were far more focused on the game than the food. Next time, I may break things up with a social hour before gaming so we can actually enjoy all the treats. With players of all skill levels, it was great to see well-matched tables, everyone felt challenged, and no one was in over their head or slowed down by beginners. My friends happily go wherever I assign them, which makes hosting so much easier. I also love that our group spans all ages, from 25 to 85, all playing together...as life should always be. It was such a fun night that it almost felt like the weekend...almost. Clean up on a weekday is far more important so I made it all happen. After everyone left I set to work...
