Mahjong on Main

Learn American Mahjong, one friendly lesson at a time

  • Practical beginner tips, clear explanations, something useful to save, and a small activity to practice.
  • Every teaching line is labeled: ✔ Official rule (based on NMJL rules as we understand them), ★ MGS tip (friendly advice, not a rule) or ♥ Table etiquette (kind habits; every table is a little different). Always check your current official card.

It's FREE and weekly, delivered Fridays. The first issue is planned for November 6, 2026.
