Suits, winds and dragons

American Mahjong keeps the familiar suited tiles, winds and dragons.

The suits are often called cracks, bams and dots in American play, and the card may ask for specific suits or flexible suit choices.

Flowers and jokers

Flowers are active tiles in many American hands, not just decorative extras.

A typical American set also has 8 jokers. Jokers can stand in groups of three or more but cannot complete a pair.

Racks and table tools

American Mahjong is commonly played with racks and pushers, which organize the hand and support table etiquette.

The online trainer simplifies the physical setup while keeping the important tile decisions.
