Welcome to the Academy
How you'll go from curious to confident
- Understand how this course teaches — by doing, not just reading
- Know what you'll be able to do by the end
- Take your very first action with a tile
You're about to learn American Mah Jongg — a game of clicking tiles, quick decisions, and good company. No experience needed. We start from zero.
This isn't a book you read cover to cover. Every idea is short, and almost every screen asks you to do something — tap a tile, sort a set, make a choice. That's how the game actually sticks.
Learn by touching
Whenever you see a tile, you can tap it. Go ahead — try the row below.
What you'll be able to do
By the end of the full course you'll recognize every tile instantly, set up a table and build the wall, pass tiles in the Charleston, read the yearly NMJL card, and finish your first real winning hands.
Right now, in Module 1, we keep it gentle: where the game came from, what makes the American version unique, and why so many people love it.

- This course teaches by doing, not just reading.
