Mahj In the City was started by two best friends - Ashley Sigmon & Leigh Young in Charlotte, NC. They learned to play together, & decided everyone they knew should learn too! Captivated by the game, for both the beautiful tiles, the pleasing nature of the rituals & rules of play and the brain-game workout motivated Ashley & Leigh to make sure everyone knows how to Mahj. Ashley, a former teacher & Leigh, former US House Staffer combined their background and skill sets to make learning to Mahj fun and do-able for all ages and stages of life. As we like to say, "Go On, Get You're Mahj On - It's Good for You!"
