You keep meaning to. It keeps not happening.
The set is in the cupboard. You both said you would. Then the week happens, the phones come out, and another evening goes by next to each other rather than with each other.
The problem is never the game. It is that nothing makes it repeatable.
Tested on real evenings, not perfect ones.
The formats in here exist because the ninety-minute version does not survive a Tuesday. So there is a twenty-five minute version, and a version for when one of you is tired, and a version for when one of you is clearly better.
It is built to survive a normal week — which is the only reason a ritual ever sticks.

We're Mahjong Key
A community of players and strategists dedicated to American Mah Jongg. Our mission is to bring clear, practical knowledge to players at every level — because smarter players win more.
We don't believe in fluff, recycled tips, or confusing explanations. Instead we create structured lessons that actually teach you how to think at the table: from your first Charleston pass to reading opponents' discards under pressure.
Every lesson is clear, practical and available on demand. Watch at your own pace, rewatch as often as you need. No subscriptions, no distractions.

7 questions answered
Does this teach the game?
No, it's the ritual around it. The Partner Training Program teaches the game.
How do I access my files after purchase?
Two ways. The download link appears on the order confirmation screen the moment payment goes through, and the same link is emailed to you within about a minute.
Keep that email — the link stays live, so you can re-download whenever you need.
Can I get a refund?
Because these are digital files delivered instantly, purchases are non-refundable and orders cannot be cancelled once the link has been issued.
That said, this policy is not a way to avoid problems. If a link fails, a file will not open, you were charged twice, or you received the wrong product, contact us — we will replace the files or refund you.
Can I print the guides?
All of them. Every file is built for a home printer on standard paper, with type sized to stay readable when printed. Many customers print the Cheat Sheet and keep it beside the card.
Are updates included?
Yes, within the year you bought. If we correct or improve a guide you own, the updated file appears at your existing download link at no cost.
The Mastery Bundle and Date Night Bundle also include next year's Cheat Sheet free when the new card is released.
Are you affiliated with other companies?
No. Mahjong Key operates exclusively under its own name and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Mah Jongg League, any other brand, seller, or third-party product.
If you buy Mah Jongg material from another source, it is not ours — we cannot vouch for its accuracy and cannot support it. To be sure you are getting the real thing, buy only through our official channels.
How can I reach out to you?
