Mahjong gatherings in Denver are creating opportunities to meet people, learn a game and spend time away from phones. A September 27, 2026, Colorado Sun feature follows local groups in bars and social spaces, including The Mahj Squad at Wash Park Social.

Co-founder Kelly Warren describes the appeal of an activity that combines conversation with strategy. The report also visits other Mahjong communities, including Honour Tile Society, placing the current social scene within the game’s Chinese origins and varied traditions.

The Wash Park account supplies the American Mahjong connection. Other gatherings and photographs in the feature represent broader Mahjong culture and should be understood in their own context.
