the pinkest & prettiest

SB Crak Club

Santa Barbara Mahjong Club · @sbcrakclub

Play, learn, and get happily addicted. Social & learning events with plenty of mahjong, all over Santa Barbara's loveliest spots.

The Club

A seat at the table, always.

We're a warm, social mahjong club in Santa Barbara — equal parts game, gathering, and good time. Some of us are seasoned players; plenty of us picked up our first tile last month. Everyone's welcome at the table.

Come to learn the game, sharpen your strategy, or just enjoy an afternoon out with the prettiest tiles in the 805. We'll bring the sets, racks, and a friendly host to walk newbies through it all.

Newbies welcomeWe love teaching first-timers — no experience needed.
Tiles providedSets, racks, and patient hosts at every event.

What We Do

Three lovely ways to play.

Come for the lesson, stay for the company — or the other way around. There's no wrong reason to pull up a chair.

Learn to play

A host walks beginners through the tiles, the rules, and the strategy at a relaxed pace. Bring questions, not nerves.

Open play & socials

Drop-in games, fresh faces, and plenty of fun. The tiles are the excuse; the friendships are the point.

Events out & about

Gatherings at the area's loveliest wineries and country clubs — so every game feels like a little occasion.

Upcoming

Pull up a chair.

Reserve right here on the site — spots are limited. Full events have a waitlist, and we'll reach out if a seat opens.

Want first dibs on the next date?
