We’re here to play great Mahjong, meet new tablemates, enjoy the grand experience — and, of course, hopefully take home a coveted prize or two. Good sportsmanship is expected at every table. Unsportsmanlike, disrespectful, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Guests who interfere with the enjoyment of other players or the spirit of the event may be asked to leave without a refund. Play to win. Be gracious. Have fun. And remember, it’s only deadly serious in theme. What does my ticket include? Your ticket includes access to the historic Alexander Mansion, Mahjong play, heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine, champagne, signature Macabre cocktails, vendor shopping, special activations, and opportunities to win prizes. Tournament tickets also include competitive tournament entry and eligibility for tournament prizes. Guests may also purchase raffle tickets for special prizes, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Dallas Woman’s Forum, which preserves and maintains Alexander Mansion.

Cocktail attire is encouraged, with lace, velvet, jewel tones, black, burgundy, vintage glamour, and a touch of the macabre very welcome. Costumes are optional.
