Come Mahj With Us

Blooming Bams Mahjong was founded by instructors Amanda Tippie and Andrea Gardner Fannin out of a desire to find and connect with more mahjong players. They love teaching just as much as they love playing and value the mental, social, and wellness benefits the game offers—especially the meaningful friendships that form around the table. Based in Southwest Missouri, Blooming Bams is dedicated to teaching American Mahjong in a warm, inviting atmosphere through group and private lessons, open play, leagues, and tournaments that foster community, connection, and lifelong friendships.
