Beginner lessons
Learn
Learn American Mahjong one question at a time — for beginners and anyone who wants a refresher.
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.

Our beginner lessons are on the way.
We're still writing and checking our lessons, so none are published yet. Topics we're working on include tiles, setup, the Charleston, playing a hand, strategy and a glossary.
The easiest way to hear when they're ready is Mahjong on Main, our free weekly newsletter.
