My name is Melissa and I have lived in Chicago since 2011. My husband Chris and I live in Logan Square. I have over 20 years of gaming experience. I attend the Gen Con gaming convention every year, and have won 7 Wonders Championships. I have been playing Mahjong for a few years, and have joined several Mahjong playing clubs in the city. There are 40 different styles of Mahjong. My personal favorite is Hong Kong style. I teach multiple Mahjong styles.
