  • Hi, I'm Courtney.

    The seeds of The Lucky Dot were planted over 20 years ago around my grandparents kitchen table. For me, Mah Jongg has always been more than just a game — it’s a reason to gather and a way to connect. The Lucky Dot is inspired by this tradition and rooted in love.

  • Who is Dot?

    Yes, dots are one of three suits in the game of Mah Jongg. Dot is also the name of my Granny, the amazing person who brought Mah Jongg into my life. As a kid, Mah Jongg was a special way for me to connect with family. The Lucky Dot honors my Granny, the tradition she shared with me, and the joy I now get to share with others around the table.

  • What is American Mah Jongg?

    I’m glad you asked! American Mah Jonng is a 4-player tile game. It’s a little bit of strategy, a little bit of luck, and a whole lot of fun!

    There are many versions of this game that originated in China. In the early 1900’s, Mah Jongg came to the USA from China. The game became especially popular among Jewish-American woman who began playing it as a way to gather and connect. In 1937, a group of Mah Jongg enthusiasts came together in NYC and founded the National Mah Jongg League. They standardized the game so that all players would play the same hands and rules. This is the American Mah Jongg we know and love today. Every year, a new NMJL card is published, keeping the game fun and exciting.

You’re Mah Jongg Instructor matters. Here’s why you should learn with me:

  • I learned this game as a kid at my Granny’s kitchen table. Two decades of experience have shaped the way I teach. I bring the knowledge and years at the table to teach you not only the rules, but also the strategy, table etiquette, and practical skills you need to become a confident, well-rounded player.

  • I keep my classes intentionally small so that every student receives personalized attention and support. I believe in quality over quanity because your first Mah Jongg experience should be fun and encouraging. I create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are simply part of the learning process.

  • My support doesn’t end after your first lesson. I offer Beginner Guided Play, Private 1:1 Lessons, and Social Play opportunities so you can continue building confidence and finding your Mah Jongg community.

  • At the heart of The Lucky Dot is LOVE. I genuinely love introducing people to a game that has been such an important part of my life. But Mah Jongg is so much more than a game—it’s a reason to gather, unplug from everyday life, and build meaningful connections around the table.
