Mahjong Titans American Mahjong Scoring Basics
American Mahjong scoring depends on the card and table rules. For beginners, the first goal is to understand why the selected hand matters before worrying about every payment detail.
The card gives the value
In real American Mahjong, each official card hand has its own value. The exact yearly card content is not reproduced here.
Practice patterns on this site teach the matching flow, not official scoring tables.
Win source can matter
Many tables distinguish winning by discard from winning by self-pick. Table rules can also affect payments and responsibility.
Because conventions vary, beginners should confirm scoring before joining a real table.
Why matching comes first
Scoring is hard to learn if the hand-matching idea is still unclear.
That is why the trainer focuses on completing a selected pattern, using jokers correctly and avoiding invalid pairs.
