## What is 2?

Real mahjong needs four people around a table. 2-Player Mahjong needs one friend and a six-character room code — or nobody at all: tap once and get matched with a live opponent.

PRACTICE FREE
Play complete hands against the bot — no account, no connection, no time limit. Learn peng, kan, ting and the fan patterns at your own pace.

PLAY A FRIEND, LIVE
Create a private room, share the code, and you're dealing in seconds. Your friend can be across the room or ten time zones away.

MATCH WITH THE WORLD
One tap finds you a live opponent — no code, no planning. Set your table's rules and host, or take the fastest seat available. If it's quiet, warm up against the bot and the game pulls you in the moment someone appears.

MADE FOR TWO
• Classic Rules adapted for two players: peng and kan, no chi
• 144 tiles including flowers and seasons
• 13 fan patterns, with the full scoring table built in — and gang money on every kan, win or lose
• A live fan counter shows what your hand could be worth from the very first draw
• Auto-play holds your ting hand; a win always waits for you
• Step away any time — games resume right where you left off
• Score history tracks every session, every win and loss
• Optional turn timer and hidden-pond mode for faster, sharper games
• Hand-drawn tiles, haptics, full English and 简体中文

SUBSCRIPTION
Practice is free forever. The Friends plan unlocks live online play with people you invite. The Unlimited plan adds random online matches — as many as you like — plus everything in Friends. Monthly or yearly, per player. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.

### 2/5 — Not beginner friendly

*2026-08-14*

The rules are not clear. How do you score?  How do you make matches? There were 3 tiles of the same on the board yet no one scored? Impossible to get 3 of a kind all together. Peng is confusing- it pops up automatically and at other times When I expect it too it doesn’t. Will try another version with better tutorial.
