At the Table

The Pasadena senior center adds a weekly American mahjong club

The center lists the club as new, meeting Tuesdays at one o'clock, and frames the game around keeping the mind sharp.

The Pasadena Senior Center in Pasadena, California lists a weekly American Mahjong Club on its clubs page and describes it as new. It meets Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m.

The listing gives a phone number, (626) 795-4331, for more information. It does not name an instructor, set a skill level, or list a separate fee, and the page carries no date.

In its own description the center says mahjong is a good game for keeping the mind sharp, and recommends it as a way to keep the brain in good health.

The listing names the American game specifically, which is the version played against the National Mah Jongg League's annual card.
