How it differs from Singapore

  • 152 tiles: eight flowers that stand in for one another, and eight jokers that stand in for any tile in a group of three or more.
  • The winning hands are the ones on the card, nothing else, each worth the points printed beside it; a hand with no joker counts double.
  • The Charleston: three tiles pass right, across and left before play, a second round if nobody stops it, then a courtesy pass across.
  • No chows: pungs, kongs, quints and sextets, called from any discard, and a joker in any exposure may be exchanged for the tile it stands for.
  • East begins with fourteen tiles, the deal moves on after every hand, and a wall game scores nothing.

The regulars at this table

Three of the club’s regulars sit down whenever you open a fresh American Mah Jongg table. Each plays the style properly and in their own way; you can change the seats at the table.

  • Mei Always first to ready

    “Charleston! Pass me something good.”

  • Auntie Rose Keeps her seat safe

    “A joker for the soap, dear.”

  • Rafi The newest regular

    “Which hand on the card is this?”

Rules at this table

Four players, 152 tiles: the three suits, the winds and dragons, eight flowers that stand in for one another, and eight jokers. The winning hands are the ones on the card, nothing else; each is worth the points printed beside it. East begins with fourteen tiles, everyone else with thirteen.

The Charleston

Before play, everyone passes three tiles to the right, three across and three to the left. Then any player may stop, or everyone passes three to the left, across and to the right again. Finally the players sitting across from each other may exchange up to three tiles, as many as the smaller offer. On the first pass to the left and the last to the right, a player may pass tiles blind: tiles coming to them go straight on unseen, so that fewer of their own need go. Jokers are never passed.

Play

Draw and discard. Any player may call a discard to lay down a pung, kong, quint or sextet of that tile, using jokers for any of the copies; a pair is never called except for Mah Jongg. There are no chows, and no sets are declared from the hand. A joker in any exposure on the table may be taken by the player on turn in exchange for the tile it stands for. A discarded joker is dead and cannot be called. When the wall is used up the hand is a wall game and nobody scores.

Mah Jongg

Fourteen tiles, exposures included, that make exactly one hand on the card. Jokers may stand anywhere in a group of three or more, never in a pair or a single. Every loser gives the winner the hand's points; the discarder gives double, and when the winner draws the tile everyone gives double. A hand without a joker counts double.

Club card 2026

Groups are written with one letter a tile: F a flower, 1–9 a number, 0 the soap (white dragon), D the dragon of the group's suit (red with Characters, green with Bamboo, soap with Dots), N E W S the winds, R G the red and green dragons. The small letters under a hand are its suits: the same letter is the same suit, different letters different suits. “Any run or number” means the numbers may all move up together.
