After relocating to Chicago Alyssa began hosting regular meetups at various locations around the city, teaching anyone who showed up. This led to the launch of her business, The Mahjong Society. Mahjong quickly gained popularity in Chicago, and Alyssa found herself teaching multiple private lessons each week. Since then, The Mahjong Society (TMS) has expanded, bringing on additional instructors and offering private lessons, bi-weekly meetups, parties, and events. They've partnered with local businesses and social groups to not only teach the game but also to create an active community of players across the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 7.92 x 6.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978983604525,"sku":"9781577155539","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/yiLplUPr1D9781577155539.webp?v=1775815338","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/play-mahjong-an-all-levels-guide-to-american-mahjong-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
