The Chinese tile game mahjong is enjoying a recent surge in popularity, spurred along by social media apps like TikTok and Instagram, and has been played since the mid-1800s. Many of us play digital versions of the classic game, but for those who want to get their paws on some actual tiles, Austin Public Library has an ongoing board game series for older adults to get together and play IRL. Drop in from 10am to noon to try your hand at it, and check the library’s schedule for more board game meetups.
