Mahj & Friends

American Mahjong, played the way modern friend groups actually live. Mahj and Friends is an NMJL-rules American Mahjong app built around async play. Your Tuesday group doesn't have to be at the same table - or even in the same time zone. Take your turn when you have a minute. Get notified when it's your turn again. The game waits for you. WHY ASYNC Real-life NMJL is a 3-4 hour commitment with everyone in one room. Beautiful, but inconvenient. Mahj and Friends preserves the rules, the strategy, the social texture of your group - and removes the calendar problem. A game might play out over an evening, a weekend, or an entire week. That's the point. GAME MODES - 4-Player: full NMJL with the Charleston, calls (PUNG / KONG / MAHJ), the works - Double Mahj: two hands, one game - two players, two hands each, no Charleston - Quick Play: two players, one hand, first to mahj wins - Practice vs Bots: solo play to learn the ropes or warm up THE 2026 NMJL CARD, BUILT IN Every hand pattern from the 2026 card is built into the app - no paper card, no card-fishing while you play. Pin the hands you're chasing, sort your tiles, and check the card right from the board. CLUBS AND FRIENDS Build a club for your Tuesday group, your synagogue, your country club mahjong society. Track your club leaderboard, schedule games, and post to your club board. Add friends, challenge them across town, and invite people in person with a QR code. OPEN TABLES Want a game right now? Browse open tables in Discover and grab a seat, or start your own and the app lets you know when it fills. DESIGNED FOR YOUR EYES Your tiles need to be readable, beautiful, and never tiring. Every tile and screen is designed for clarity over long sessions, with portrait or landscape play. NMJL CARD ATTRIBUTION Hand patterns follow NMJL-style rules.
