Founding and mission.

Riichi Nomi NYC, established in 2020, is a New York City based riichi mahjong club that is open to people of all skill and experience levels. We were established to foster an inclusive, educational, competitive, and most importantly fun forum for our members to play the game we all love. We are proud to have quickly grown to become one of the largest mahjong clubs in the country.

 

The club’s mission is to spread the game of riichi mahjong, primarily in the New York City metro area, by recruiting new members and providing ample opportunities to play at club events. We aim to provide growth opportunities to increase the skill of our members through practice, coaching, and study. Through our mission we hope to elevate the overall popularity and competency of riichi mahjong in the United States. 

 

The club focuses on providing a breadth of situations to play in, ranging from casual matches to more comprehensive simulations of different rulesets or competitive environments. We offer frequent online and in-person events for members to practice and compete against each other and collaborate with mahjong players from across the globe. We show off our skills by participating in national and international tournaments and we also host events that offer the opportunity to contend against high-level competition.
