The Heart Behind It
COMO Mahjong was founded by Lauren Crosby, a Columbia native who believes community is built around tables, whether it’s family dinners, sports sidelines, or a Mahjong table.
After teaching dozens of people how to play, something became clear: this game brings people together in a special way. It creates laughter, healthy competition, and meaningful connections that often turn into lasting friendships.
What began as small, casual lessons quickly grew into something much bigger, leagues, partnerships with local businesses, private events, and destination retreats. Today, COMO Mahjong continues to grow, but the heart remains the same: Connection & Community
