Mahjongg School

Mahjongg School teaches American Mah Jongg and gives you a table to play at whenever you like. Sit down for a whole game against three computer players. They see only what a player at a real table would see: the tiles thrown, the sets face up and their own rack. They never see your tiles or the wall. When you are not sure what to do, ask the Coach. The answer comes in plain words, the way a friend at the table would put it: "I'd pass 1 Dot, 4 Crak and 4 Dot to your right." If you are new to the game, start with the lessons. There are eleven short ones, from the tiles themselves to reading the card and winning a game, and each one is played at a real table. The coached practice games come next. There are five whole games. In the first, the Coach suggests every pass and every throw. You get a little less help in each game after that, and in the fifth you play on your own. The drills ask one question at a time, such as which tile to throw or which three tiles to pass in the Charleston, and score each answer as soon as you give it. To play with friends, start a game and send them the link. A computer player fills any empty seat. Games start on this year's card. You can also play an older card, or add your own by typing it in or by scanning a photo of the printed card. Make an account with Apple, Google or your email address, and the school keeps your games, report cards and progress. Coins come from playing. They buy the pieces on sale for coins that week: a few faces, frames, tile backs and cloths from the season's set, and most pieces of a holiday set while it lasts. Jade is sold in the app through Apple. It buys those pieces too, and everything else in the shop all year, including a holiday set's joker, flower and win effect, and packs with pieces sold nowhere else. Jade can't be turned back into money. Mahjongg School is run by ECAI, LLC, an independent company in Virginia. It is not connected with any card publisher or league.
