Mahjong School — gather your friends, deal a hand Friends in the room? Everyone plays from their own phone. Friends far away? Open an online room and send them the code. It's proper Taiwanese 16-tile mahjong — flowers, tai scoring, dealer streaks, rounds and winds, all of it. HOW TO START A TABLE — THREE STEPS 1. Tap "Host" — the first button on the main screen. Your room opens with a 4-character code on it, something like MJ7K 2. Tap "Invite Friends" — the code and a link go straight into Messages or LINE. Friends tap the link and they're seated; reading four characters out loud works just as well 3. Everyone here? Tap "Start" — still short a player? Hand the empty seats to the AI. One person is enough to fill a table Your friends only have to do one thing: open the app, tap "Join Online Room", and type those four characters. No account, no payment. THE CODE STAYS PUT • The room lives on a server, not inside your phone — close the app, step back to the lobby, come back in, and it's still the same code. Your friends arrive where you told them to • If someone drops mid-game, they come back to the same seat, the same hand and the same chips • Friends sitting next to you can also walk into the same room through Nearby, over Wi-Fi / Bluetooth NEW TO MAHJONG?
