Chicago Area Mahjong

We are the Chicago Area Mahjong club. Playing mahjong in the Schaumburg area and other parts of Chicagoland since 2008-2009.

And the weather was pretty good too.

This was our mahjong picnic last Saturday in Busse Woods. Trees, greenery, and some BBQ.

Mapped is just a portion of the area.

The most amusing part: The marines were having an outing themselves nearby.

"Activity remained continuous from Saturday evening into Sunday."

To clarify, Thursday and Friday nights. We were sensible enough to go home and sleep.

As with every year, ACEN has come and gone. Once again, this year's mahjong room was once again very active. Activity remained continuous from Saturday evening into Sunday.

A big thank you to Anime Central for letting us host. We shall look forward into next year.

And the yakuman. And other large potential hands:

Kazoe yakuman and Shousuushii.

Plus a what could have been dora 11 hand with toitoi or rinshan kaihou.

We even played more yesterday for some Mahjong Monday.
