About Mahjong Key

Clear, practical American Mah Jongg knowledge — because smarter players win more.

What we do

We build structured learning material for American Mah Jongg (NMJL) players at every level: from someone opening a set for the first time, to a club regular trying to stop plateauing, to a competitive player sharpening defence.

No fluff, no recycled tips, no content that sounds like it was assembled from a rulebook. Every guide is written to teach you how to think at the table, with worked examples from real hands.

How our material is organised

  • Essentials — reading the card, playing the hand, scoring it correctly.
  • Charleston & hand direction — the first six passes, and knowing when to change plan.
  • Solo practice — structured drills for improving between games.
  • Two-player — Siamese Mah Jongg, for when there are only two of you.
  • Kids & family — the game taught in layers, ages 5 to 12.
  • Teachers & clubs — a full instructor curriculum.
  • Riichi — the Japanese game, covered separately end to end.

Independence

Mahjong Key operates under its own name only. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Mah Jongg League or any other brand or seller. Our guides are companions to the official card — you still buy the card from the League.
