A beautiful game.
A shared passion.
Lauren is the founder and heart behind Lucky Tiles Mahjong and The Atelier—a warm, welcoming place to play, learn, and connect.
Say hello
One game.
So many connections.
Lauren’s love for mahjong began at the table where she was attracted by the rhythm of the game, the shared focus, and the connections that naturally form as you play a round of mahjong. What kept her coming back wasn’t just the strategy, but the friendships, laughter, and community that naturally grows with every game played.
She established The Atelier to create the kind of space she always wanted to play in—warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed—where players of all levels feel comfortable and inspired. Lauren believes mahjong is at its best when shared, and she is passionate about bringing people together through lessons, open play, leagues, and special events.
Whether she’s teaching a lesson, hosting open play, or greeting players at the door, Lauren’s goal is simple: to introduce new players to the game of mahjong, create a place where people can meet, connect, and enjoy the game they love, one game at a time.

What is mahjong—and why play?
Mahjong is a timeless game of skill, strategy, and intuition, originating in China centuries ago. Played with beautifully crafted tiles, it combines memory, pattern recognition, and tactical thinking. But mahjong is more than a game—it’s a way to connect. Each round offers moments of focus, excitement, and delight, while creating a space to relax, engage your mind, and enjoy a shared experience.
Cancellation policies
All reservations are nonrefundable, as each booking secures a space that could otherwise be made available to another participant.
