Grab your Mahjong set and head to the beach! On this week’s episode, we’re sitting down with Kari Long, a lively South Florida mahjong instructor, known to many on social media as @mahjonthebeach. As mahjong continues to surge in popularity, Beaches Resorts joins the conversation around one of today’s fast-growing social games. Kari shares how mahjong has evolved from a classic tabletop pastime into one of today’s most sought-after social experiences, gaining traction across restaurants, social clubs, luxury resorts, and beyond. She also reflects on her own journey with the game, from casual player to full-time instructor and event host, and explains how mahjong fosters connection, conversation and community. From friendly competition to meaningful moments, this conversation explores why Mahjong fits so seamlessly into the Beaches Resorts experience,–bringing people together in a way that feels refreshingly present and leaving even first players asking for “just one more round.”
