Meet Becca
She fell in love with Mahjong over 20 years ago on a beach trip — drawn in by the click of the tiles, the strategy, and the fun. Years later, a spontaneous game with friends reignited that passion, and it hasn’t let up since. From lunch break matches with her sisters to weekend game nights, Mahjong has become a joyful obsession and the ongoing request for “just one more game!”
Becca became a Certified Mahji Mentor with Oh My Mahjong and founded Merry-Go-Mahjong to share the love of the game with others. Becca is a graphic designer and artist and lives in Nashville with her husband Tim and their scruffy rescue pup, Louie.
Mahjong is an expensive obsession!
That’s why we offer complete gaming sets for rent!
Whether you’re hosting a game night, want to play on vacation, or just want to try out a variety of sets before investing in “the one” for your personal collection, we have what you need! We have 4 complete Mahjong sets to choose from. Contact us for rental rates!
The Citrus Songbird Set
A delightful mix of soft pastels, this set is feminine and cheery. Think Amalfi Coast in summer with a refreshing Limoncello Spritz to “Bam Bird Cheers” with!
The Goldie Set
Bright and bold, this set shows there’s nothing boring about Mahjong! Warm hues of a perfect sunset, paired with cloud blue tiles evoke the beauty of evening light.
The Dapper Set
This set is for those who admire the rugged beauty of nature. Tortoise shell, plaid, and deep, earthy tones are the sign of ultimate sophistication.
The Soho Set
Think New York in the 1920s, this Art Deco-inspired design adds a touch of vintage glamor that makes you feel as though you’re part of the Gatsby guestlist.
Each set comes with 2 dice and 4 NMJL Cards to accompany your game.
