Table Seating
While it is always our goal to seat four players at each table, registration numbers and last-minute cancellations may occasionally require us to adjust seating arrangements. Individual players may be paired with others to complete a table, and in some cases, tables may play with fewer than four players. While we do our best to accommodate seating preferences, we cannot guarantee specific group sizes or table arrangements. For those who prefer a dedicated table with a group of their choosing, we invite you to explore our private Mahjong experiences.
