Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what people search — for Google, voice, and assistants.
What types of online mahjong are there?
Four products share the font: mahjong solitaire (matching pairs), Chinese/Hong Kong four-player, Japanese riichi, and American mahjong (jokers, racks, a card). Tilehaus ships a teaching card for American, not an NMJL year card. Opening the wrong product is the usual first-search mistake.
Which mahjong should I play online as a beginner?
If you meant the matching game, open Mahjong Solitaire. If you meant the table game, start with the 136-tile four-player teaching table, then riichi. American mahjong on Tilehaus is a teaching card with jokers, not a National Mah Jongg League year card.
Is Japanese mahjong the same as Chinese mahjong online?
No. Japanese riichi needs yaku, dora, and furiten. Chinese/Hong Kong teaching tables award four melds and a pair. Same tiles, different win conditions.
