Introduction to Tile Talk with Christina, Elizabeth, and Marshall. We dive into world and culture of American Mahjong.
Welcome to the very first episode of Tile Talk — your new favorite Mahjong podcast! Join hosts Christina, Elizabeth, and Marshall as they introduce themselves, share how they each fell in love with American Mahjong, and kick off what's going to be your go-to channel for everything Mahjong.

In this episode: Christina shares her journey to becoming a Mahjong teacher and league runner, Elizabeth opens up about her love of games and learning Mahjong, and Marshall explains how his family brought him into the world of tiles. Together they answer the question every new player gets asked: "What IS Mahjong?" — and each host gives their own take, from "order from chaos" to the perfect elevator pitch for non-players.

We also introduce Mrs. Mahjong's Magical Tile Spritz — a jasmine-scented tile cleaner with germ-reducing properties that every Mahjong player needs in their bag. Stick around for an exclusive discount code!

Then Christina breaks down Mahjong strategy for the 2025 NMJL card, covering "like numbers" and pivots — a must-watch segment for anyone trying to find winning hands faster and play smarter this year.

Plus we're teasing upcoming episodes on the mental health benefits of Mahjong, new Mahjong cards, racism and cultural appropriation in Mahjong, tournament play, house rules, and etiquette. You will NOT want to miss what's coming.
