Made for practice
Your table is ready whenever you are
No waiting for the group to get together. Sit down for one hand or a whole evening, at your own pace.
A full table, any hour of the day
Three computer players fill the other seats, at Easy, Standard or Hard, so you can play a complete game at 7 in the morning or midnight. The Charleston, calls, jokers and Mahjong all play out just like your weekly game.
Big, clear buttons for every move: Sort hand, Undo, Pause, Call and Pass. Deal automatically, or four tiles at a time like the real table. Save a table and come back to it later.
A card helper at your elbow
Not sure which hand to go for? Open the card beside the table and turn on Card Helper. It lists the lines your tiles are closest to and how many you already have.
Pin the line you're chasing, or turn the helper off when you're ready to play on your own.
Lessons at a real table
Ten short lessons, a few minutes each, take you from Meet the Tiles to declaring Mahjong. A friendly guide walks you through the Charleston, calling, and jokers with real tiles in front of you.
New to the game or just rusty? Every lesson is open from the start, and you can replay any of them.
The Daily Wall
A new wall every day, the same for every player. Play it with your morning coffee and see how you rank on the leaderboard.
The card you know
The included Club Card has the sections you'd expect: 2468, quints, consecutive runs, 13579, winds and dragons, 369 and more.
Make it yours
Write your own hands in the Card Builder, and choose the felt, table, racks and tiles for your own club room.

Questions
Good questions, plain answers
Can I play by myself?
Yes, and many players do. Computer players fill the empty seats, so a full game is ready any time you are. Pause whenever you like, and save a table to finish later.
I'm new, or a bit rusty. Will I keep up?
Yes. The ten lessons in the Learning Room start from the very beginning, and the Card Helper shows which hands your tiles are closest to. You set the pace; nobody is waiting on you.
Does it use the National Mah Jongg League card?
No. American Mahjong is an independent game and comes with its own original card, the Club Card, written the American way, with the sections you know. National Mah Jongg League cards are not included. You can also write your own hands with the Card Builder.
What do I need to play?
A computer or a tablet (like an iPad) with an up-to-date web browser: Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. There's nothing to download or install. The buy page checks your browser before you pay.
Can I play on my phone?
The browser version runs on most phones, but the table is small, so a computer or tablet is a much better seat. A version made for phones is coming; join the waitlist to hear first. You can buy on your phone now: we email you a sign-in link to open on your computer or tablet.
Yes. Get the iPhone and iPad app or the Android app: the whole game comes with the download. The AndroidiPhone app is coming soon.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once ($7.79 during the launch sale, then $12.99) and it's yours. No subscription and no ads.
What if I don't like it?
Email support@americanmahjonggame.com within 14 days of buying here and we'll refund you in full. See the Refund Policy.
Can I play with my friends?
Yes. Start an online table and share its code; friends can join on Steam or in the browser, each on their own copy, and computer players fill any empty seats. Or share one screen and pass and play.
Steam or browser: which should I buy?
Buy here to play in your web browser on a computer (Windows or Mac) or a tablet, with nothing to install. Buy on Steam if you already use Steam on a Windows PC. They're sold separately. Already own it on Steam? Sign in through Steam on the Play page to play in your browser too, at no extra cost.
