American Mahjong
American mahjong is the rack-and-joker cousin of the Chinese table. Tilehaus uses an original teaching card — four pungs and a natural pair, jokers filling pungs — not a National Mah Jongg League year card. Four seats, 13 tiles, dealer starts with 14.

- Is this official American Mah Jongg / NMJL?
- No. The National Mah Jongg League card is copyrighted. Tilehaus ships an original teaching card: four pungs and a natural pair, with jokers filling pungs only. Same racks-and-jokers family, not the yearly league card.
- How many tiles are in American mahjong?
- A typical American set is 152: 144 suit-and-honor tiles plus 8 jokers (some boxes add flowers). Tilehaus deals 144 + 8 jokers. Each player starts with 13; the dealer starts with 14.
- How do jokers work in American mahjong?
- On this teaching table, jokers complete pungs and kongs. The pair must be two natural identical tiles. You cannot discard a joker as a wild claim for someone else’s pair.
- What is the Charleston in American mahjong?
- A passing ritual before play. This teaching table skips Charleston so you can learn jokers and the 14-tile shape first. A later module can add passing.
- Can you play American mahjong online free?
- Yes. Open the Tilehaus American teaching table in the browser. Four seats, bots fill empty chairs, no account.
