Many versions of the history and origin of this classic game exist, and it has enjoyed popularity worldwide for many years. Notably, the People's Republic of China banned the game when the Communist government took power in 1949, viewing gambling as a symbol of capitalist corruption.

However, the game has since been revived in China. Now, you can join two dedicated players and discover what has drawn them to weekly games for years. CHICK RAFFA will be leading this two-session afternoon course.

Classes will take place from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM and are limited to 12 participants.

The sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, February 25th, and Thursday, February 27th.
