$69$35
One payment. Instant access by email. Yours to keep, on any device.
- The Complete Guide: American mah jongg from the first tile to the last discard, in large print, written to be read at the table. Comes with the full audiobook, so you can listen instead of reading.
- 9 Video Lessons with Linda: The Tiles · The Card and the Tiles · A Sample Game · The Wall and the Charleston · Playing the Game · Three Players · Do's and Don'ts · Tips, Tricks and Strategies · The 2026 NMJL Card. Filmed at a real table, watch as often as you like.
- The Charleston Practice Room: pass and receive against three simulated opponents, a fresh deal every time, with the reason for every pass. Large type on your phone, nothing to print.
- Test Yourself: sixty questions across six areas, and eight hands played out turn by turn, so you find out on the spot whether each discard was the best one.
- Reading the Card: how to read any line on the official card in thirty seconds — where jokers are allowed, where they are not, and how the lines are built.
- My Card, Line by Line: a printable workbook you fill in beside your own card, one line per page, so the card becomes yours.
- The Charleston Quick Card: one page to keep beside you, with every pass in order.
- Scoring & Payouts: a printable sheet for tracking rounds, totals and who pays what.

- Works on phone, tablet and computer
Your own cheat sheet, made from your own card
Most hands that fall apart at the end fall apart on a joker in the wrong place. Add the lines you play, and the practice room marks every group for you.
- Add a line from your card, group by group, just as it is printed.
- Every group gets its answer: Joker OK in green, No joker in red. Pairs and singles are always real tiles.
- Print it and keep it beside your card. When the 2027 card arrives, add the new lines and print again.
Prefer pen and paper? My Card, Line by Line is the same idea as a printable form you fill in by hand.
A real screen from the practice room
You know the rules.You've read your card.But when did you last practice without three people waiting on you?
Most of us learn at the table, in real time, with the whole group watching. Some players deal themselves thirteen tiles at the kitchen table and pass three to a face-down pile, just to practice. It works, slowly. And nobody ever tells you whether that pass was a good one.
The Mahj Practice Room changes that.
Three simulated opponents pass back to you, with a fresh deal every time, blind pass included. Take as long as you like over every pass.
Add lines from your own card, and after every Charleston it shows how close your tiles got to each one. You practice for this year's card, not a made-up one.
Then Test Yourself plays eight hands with you, turn by turn, and rates every discard: the best play, a fair one, or one that costs you.
Big tiles, big type, big buttons. Nothing to print, nothing to pinch and zoom on your phone.
This is the real web app
What Test Yourself adds to your game
At the table, nobody stops to tell you that your hand died four turns ago. Here, every choice comes back with an answer.
- When you answer a question, it tells you why, whether you got it right or not.
- When you finish the sixty questions, you get a score for each of the six areas and the chapter to reread.
- When you play one of the eight hands turn by turn, every discard is rated: the best play, a fair one, or one that costs you.
A real screen from Test Yourself
Made for eyes that are tired of small print
Most mah jongg material is written small, printed small and squeezed onto a phone. Everything here was built the other way round.
Large print, on paper
The guide and every sheet are set in large type on US Letter pages, ready to print at home. No reading glasses hunt, no squinting at a footnote.
Or don't read at all
Linda reads the whole guide out loud in the audiobook. Put it on in the car, in the kitchen, on a walk, and learn the game without looking at a page.
The apps do the enlarging
Big tiles, big buttons, one thing on screen at a time. Nothing to print and nothing to pinch and zoom — the practice room is already the right size on your phone.
Read it, print it, or listen to it. Whatever your eyes feel like today.
Everyone gives you the resources. Nobody lets you practice with them.
Guides, cheat sheets, videos: you read, you watch, you nod along. Then you sit down at the table, and that is the first time you actually do any of it, with three people waiting on you.
The Mahj Practice Room is the part that has always been missing: a place to practice. Watch one of the nine video lessons with Linda, filmed at a real table, then do it yourself. Pass against three simulated opponents, with a fresh deal every time. Play eight hands turn by turn, and find out on the spot whether each discard was the best one.
Practice as often as you like, alone, at your own pace. So the first time you do it at the table is not the first time you have done it.
Included free
Most cheat sheets expire in April. Yours updates with your card.
Every spring a new card comes out, and a printed cheat sheet goes out of date overnight. The Mahj Practice Room works the other way round: it is built on the lines you put in, so it is ready for every new card, starting with 2027.
- Add the new lines on day one and practice the Charleston with them straight away.
- Print a fresh cheat sheet, with every Joker OK and No joker updated for the new card.
- Print new pages of My Card, Line by Line and fill them in beside the new card.
- Everything else carries over. The guide, the audio, the videos, the drills and the quiz teach the game, not one year's card.
Thirty days from now, at your usual table, the Charleston comes round and nobody is waiting on you.
You already know what to pass before the three tiles come across. You know whether a joker could ever sit in that pair. And when you throw, you have looked at the table first.
Not because you got lucky. Because you practiced: twenty Charlestons on your own, eight hands turn by turn, and a cheat sheet built from the card in front of you.
That is the difference between keeping up and simply playing.

What is the Mahj Practice Room?
A complete digital bundle for American mah jongg, built around practice. It teaches you the game with a large-print guide, its audiobook and nine video lessons filmed at a real table, and then lets you practice it: an app for the Charleston, a quiz with eight hands played turn by turn, drills and printable sheets.
What do I get when I purchase?
The Complete Guide with its audiobook, nine video lessons with Linda, the Charleston Practice Room app, the Test Yourself quiz, Practice Drills, the Reading the Card cheat sheet, My Card Line by Line, the Charleston Quick Card, Scoring & Payouts, a Printable Tile Set and the free 2027 update.
What is in the video lessons?
Nine lessons, narrated by Linda and filmed at a real table: the tiles; the card and the tiles; a sample game; the wall and the Charleston; playing the game; three players; do's and don'ts; tips, tricks and strategies; and the 2026 NMJL card. Watch them as often as you like, on any device.
The print in most mah jongg material is too small for me. Is this any better?
Yes. Every guide and sheet is set in large type on US Letter pages, the apps use big tiles and big buttons with one thing on screen at a time, and the whole guide is also read out loud in the audiobook, so you can listen instead of reading.
Do I need the official NMJL card?
Yes. The winning hands are on the card published each year by the National Mah Jongg League, and you buy it from them. The bundle teaches you how to read it and play it, and you add lines from your own card to the practice room to build your cheat sheet.
Is this affiliated with the National Mah Jongg League?
No. Mahj Practice Room is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the National Mah Jongg League, Inc.
Do I need to be a beginner to use this?
No. The bundle is built in three levels: Beginner learns the tiles, the card and the jokers; Intermediate practices the Charleston and declaring; Confident player works on the traps in the card and reading the table. Start wherever you are.
I don't own a set yet. Is this still for me?
Yes. The apps work without any tiles, and the Printable Tile Set gives you all 152 tiles at real size to cut out and lay on the kitchen table.
Does it work on my phone or tablet? Do I need to install anything?
It works on phone, tablet and computer. The apps open in your browser and the guides are PDF files, so there is nothing to install.
How do I access my files after purchase?
Right after checkout you receive an email with the links to everything in the bundle. Keep that email: you can come back to it whenever you like.
What if I don't receive my email?
Look in your spam or promotions folder first. If it is not there, write to us at INSERISCI_EMAIL with the email address you used at checkout, and we will send your links again.
Can I print the guides?
Yes. Everything is in large print on US Letter pages, ready to print at home, and you can print it as many times as you like.
Are updates included?
Yes. The 2027 update is free. The practice room works from the lines you add, so when the new card arrives you add its lines and practice with them from day one.
How can I reach you?
Write to us at INSERISCI_EMAIL. A real person reads every message.
