I was in a hotel bar once (pretty late) and in the lobby they rolled out a bunch of automatic mahjong tables, then a big crowd of older women came and had a pretty raucous time up past when I went to bed. Not sure how to find a group like that, but they’re apparently out there! It looked like a great time.

Growing up i remember learning to play on one of the free games that came built into microshart windows; obviously they had to get rid of that at some point (could you imagine letting people have fun? Without any sort of rent?🤮 shudder).

Seems like a good opportunity to spam (hang up) LFP requests (cute fliers) at Org (local library, post office). My local library has a regular game night where you just bring games and play with the community who show up. Maybe even your local game shop would be able to point you towards something similar.

All that said - I haven’t yet been able to find a decent digital version in a while
