From youngsters in Chinatown, to 70-year-old veterans in Old City, and people's bubbies in Jewish community centers, mahjong culture is seeing a boom in the city.building, was full — more than 30 people crowded around eight tables.

The chatter was occasionally interrupted by the whirring from the tile shuffling every time a game ended. Once Novack, 70, finally sat down with Debbie Evans, his sister who was visiting from Seattle, he started teaching her the rules of his favorite game.As Evans’ lesson began, the first item on Novack’s syllabus was teaching his sister how to identify the various Chinese characters on the tiles., or “six of characters” in mahjong. “It looks like a person standing, the arms sticking out.” Spotting Novack’s quiet lesson from across the room, Edward Zeng, 22, joined the table as its fourth player , quickly shifting the beginners’ game into a different gear. Zeng, a certified riichi mahjong professional and Canada’s top-ranked player, deftly drew and discarded a tile.“Don’t worry about this. That’s part of the intimidation tactic,” Novack — who has been playing mahjong for more than a decade — told her, laughing.Mahjong’s roots lie in mid-1800s China. It was played mostly by men, socially and for gambling. By the early 20th century, the game started spreading across the world, developing regional variations inside and outside China. Cantonese or Hong Kong, American, and riichi mahjong are some of the most common variants played today. The fundamentals are similar: the game is played with a set of tiles marked by symbols and Chinese characters, and players must form a legal hand made up of a combination of sets and pairs to win. Haoyi Shang, 28, grew up playing mahjong in China with family, and moved to the United States more than a decade ago. When she organized“I did not expect to have too many people … especially from outside the Asian community,” said Shang, who is PCDC’s commercial corridor manager and lives in Chinatown.PCDC hosted its third annual mahjong night as part of its Lunar New Year programming this year. Shang and a coworker brought in tables from other rooms to accommodate more games. She borrowed her colleagues’ mahjong sets to meet the demand. There have been several requests, she said, to set up a beginners’ table at these meetups.While the game has Chinese origins, mahjong is also a time-honored tradition in Jewish communities. Or mah-jongg, as it’s often spelled by those who play the American style of the game.— playing mahjong with friends. In Kudler’s sophomore year of high school, her mother started taking mahjong classes at their senior center. That’s when Kudler started playing too. “I had a snow day one day, so I went with her to the senior center, and I really loved it and picked it up very quickly,” said Kudler, 21, who studies biology. “So then my mom and I taught my dad and my sister, and the four of us started playing. Then we would also play with my bubbie.” After arriving at Penn from Connecticut, Kudler started playing mahjong with a small group on campus during her freshman year, but that group eventually dissolved. Last August, she formed her own club at Penn’s Hillel, where five to eight undergraduate students — a mix of Jewish and non-Jewish — meet every Saturday.The gathering where Novack and Evans met Zeng was Jessica Malone’s first meeting. Saturday afternoons from noon to 2 p.m. are dedicated to mahjong lessons at the club, but this session was especially packed since the club had closed the previous weekend to host the Malone, 40, moved to Philly five years ago, and she feels as if she’s “just scratched the surface” when it comes to exploring the city’s culture. As someone who is engaged in community service — she recently volunteered at the Rail Park in Callowhill, and will work at thethis summer — mahjong was another way for her to find community and explore Philly. After seeing press coverage of Philly Mah-Jawn, she decided to drop by the clubhouse. “With so much negative news going on, I’ve made it a point to, anytime I was upset by something, try to turn more toward community and in-person experiences and enjoy the positive communities that we have here,” said Malone, who lives in For Bella Vista’s Kaia Chau, too, the game remains “a way to bring communities together.” Chau learned to play during her middle and high school years with her family. “It’s something about hearing the tiles, shuffling them around, sitting at the table with people and having conversation over that. It’s kind of incomparable,” said Chau, 24, a cofounder of theMahjong events nationwide saw a 179% increase between 2023 and 2024 as part of a spike in popularity around “granny core activities,” or hobbies typically associated with older populations, according to It’s an extension of a larger trend toward analog gatherings after the COVID-19 pandemic, when people sought connections beyond a screen and to escape from the pressures of daily life. “During COVID, I think people were playing a lot of video games and discovering this kind of game online. But after the COVID lifted, they were like, ‘I want to play this in person now.’ So they started coming to our meetings,” said Philly Mah-Jawn president Mike Lee, 40, who lives in Mahjong’s resurgence in popularity has also, controversially, sparked allegations of cultural appropriation. Some social media users have started playing the game in their efforts to contribute toward the aesthetic cultivated by the viral trends of non-Chinese people claiming to be Looking to join in on the hype, some non-Asian people have claimed to have “discovered” the game that has existed for centuries.the traditional characters and symbols with illustrations keeping with the sets’ themes — namely “The Botanical Line: Paris Pink Release” and “The Cheeky Line: Skylight Blue Release.”Mahjong, in Chinese culture, has a reputation as a game played among elders. But the game’s recent surge in popularity has meant a younger crowd of Asian Americans has also started to gather around the mahjong table, bridging generational divides between players and within families.in decades to feature an all-Asian American cast. For some, the climax of the movie — when Constance Wu’s character, Rachel Chu, confronts her soon-to-be mother-in-law, played by Michelle Yeoh — brought mahjong to the pop culture forefront., said that although his father grew up playing mahjong in San Francisco’s Chinatown, it wasn’t until their family watched the movie that they started playing the game together. “We were watching the last scene, and I was like, ‘Damn, that was really cool.’ And then we bought a set,” said Leung, 22, a California native who studies data science. “So we spent that whole Christmas learning how to play, and then we’d play for hours.” He’s been playing mahjong for about a year now with his friends, some of whom he went with to PCDC’s Lunar New Year mahjong night.Mahjong, like karaoke, is an activity “that I feel like has been very prominent in Asian communities for really a long time,” said Chau. “We all grew up singing karaoke at home. We all grew up playing mahjong.
