Visual Companion Guide: for American Mah Jongg

Bys: Dara Mosher Collins and Donna Miller Kassman

A MUST HAVE GUIDE FOR PLAYERS OF ALL LEVELS! Updated based on the official National Mah Jongg League instruction book published in 2024. For play by National Mah Jongg League (NMJL or League) rules, we create visuals based on official NMJL rules from the Card, the official instruction book, Mah Jongg Made Easy (the 2024 Edition), annual bulletins, letters from the League, and calls to the League. We focus on rules, strategies, Best Practices, and etiquette. Many players requested all of our informative visuals in an easy-to-access format. Our Visual Companion Guide is intended as a supplement to learning from other wonderful rule books, classes, and videos and will help players at every level. We include a specific page dedicated to the 2024 NMJL Card, however, our book applies for current rules. The next Mah Jongg Made Easy is not expect until 2028 and we will share updates for each annual card on our website, ModernMahjong.com. Our Visual Companion Guide includes a streamlined start to NMJL Play and graphics to clearly explain: The Annual Card Key Concepts Rules and Misconceptions about Jokers Window of Opportunity to Call a Discard Commitment to a Tile Proper Order for Joker Exchanges Strategy Dead Hands Declaring Mah Jongg Playing for Money House Rules Tournament Rules Two and Three Player Games Our Appendices include: A.
