The Twin Cities have a steady American Mahjong community at the Sabes JCC and synagogues across St. Louis Park and Edina, with smaller Hong Kong Mahjong games in Asian community centers in Eden Prairie and Bloomington. Winter doesn't slow it down — most games are indoors year-round.

Mahjong in Minneapolis — FAQ
Where can I play mahjong in Minneapolis?
The Sabes JCC in St. Louis Park runs American Mahjong games. Synagogues in St. Louis Park, Edina, and Minnetonka host weekly clubs. Asian community centers in Eden Prairie and Bloomington have Hong Kong Mahjong games.
Is mahjong played year-round in Minneapolis?
Yes — most mahjong games are indoor and run on a steady weekly cadence regardless of season. Winter actually drives some growth: it's a popular indoor social activity when outdoor options are limited.
Are there mahjong groups in St. Paul?
Yes — St. Paul has a smaller but recurring scene, often at synagogues and senior centers. The metro is geographically tight enough that Twin Cities players often travel between St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the western suburbs for games.
