So fun - some visibility issues

This is my favorite online mahjong game. The only issue is unless you play with “high visibility tiles” the tiles are laughably unreadable and there is no way to make them bigger. It’s very frustrating.

Love!

I really love this game! It’s beautiful and I love that you can play with friends. my 2 biggest wishes would be more tile sets, and the ability to play with blanks in the real game.

It gives you a chance to learn your card and make hands

Pretty close to real

This app is pretty good. It would be nice if the hold and pass buttons were bigger. It was also a little too easy to discard the wrong tile.

Prettiest Game!

I have tried several different and this is the best one I have found. I love the different color and tile options. I would love to be able to purchase more tile designs. I would also like to be able to purchase the app in a one time price instead of a monthly subscription, but still it’s my favorite I have found so far.

I want to love it!

I love the realistic play but I don’t find myself using it very much because I need my card. I love a game while I’m sitting in a carpool line or taking a break at the office but I don’t love having to balance my phone and card. I think this would be a slam dunk if there were a way to slide the Nmjl card hands out from the side. Other games keep you from having to really strategize and know your card by showing you TOO much about the hands you can build, but this one doesn’t help you enough. Just a place to reference the hands would be so helpful!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing the app with your friends! We’re thrilled that Mahj Parlour has helped you learn and that you’re enjoying the tile designs.

Fun game!

I am loving the Mahjong Parlour game! As a new mahjong player, it’s giving me a lot of great practice and helping me learn the different lines and rules.

I am running into a glitch though….there have been several times when I have finished my line, I get the message “Ready to Declare!” In my hint box above my tiles, but the blue Mahjong button does not appear. I’m not sure how to declare a mahjong without the button. I end up just having to keep discarding until tiles run out and then no one wins. This has happened at least 3 times today—I’ve had a mahjong, get the “ready to declare” message but can’t actually declare the mahjong.

Thank you so much for the kind review and for still giving us five stars despite this frustrating issue! We identified a bug affecting a small number of users on version 1.2.5. Please update your app and this issue should be fixed. We truly appreciate you reporting this and are so glad the app is helping you learn and practice!

Love the design, needs some work for newbies

Beautiful design. I am newly learning to play. If the exposure doesn’t match, please give a reason why and an option to undo that move. Otherwise I’m stuck and have to go to a new card and I don’t really understand what I played wrongly. Thank you!

Very realistic

This is the best mahjong game I’ve found so far. I feel like it really recreates the game accurately. I like that you even drag the tiles when you discard or do a joker exchange. I love the different tile sets and the overall theme. I like that you can play with your friends online. I also feel like the price is fair for the quality of the game. You will need the NMJL card to play.

Wow! Thank you so much for this review! We put a lot of care into recreating the feel of playing American Mahjong, from dragging and exchanging tiles to the themed sets and online games with friends. It means so much to hear that those details stand out and that you feel the price reflects the quality. We’re truly grateful to have you playing Mahj Parlour!

Calling Mahjong

I had mahjong on 13579 last line and it wouldn’t recognize! FF 135 777 99J bams - dragon dragon dragon!

Response from developer

Hi there! We’ve tested this hand, and the app should recognize it correctly. One possible source of confusion is that this is a concealed hand (marked C on the card), which means mahjong can't be declared if any of your tiles were exposed from an earlier call. Please email us at support@mahjparlour.com if you run into this issue again and we'll be happy to help!

Newbie

I am NEW to the game. This was cheaper than lessons. I only gave 4 stars because the tutorial went away after I completed the steps. I’d like to go back through to brush up on what I learned.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! You can revisit the lessons anytime by going to the Profile tab, tapping the Settings icon in the top-right corner, and selecting Lessons. We hope they continue to help as you learn!

Great learning tool

I’ve been wanting to learn how to play but it can be a hard hobby/game to break into. This has been perfect to help me learn the rules and practice

Not official NMJL card lines

The lines don’t follow the official NMJL 2026 card.

Response from developer

Hi there. Mahj Parlour does use the 2026 NMJL card lines, including the scoring, concealed/exposed designations, and hand patterns. Feel free to reach out at support@mahjparlour.com so we can help you further!
