American Mahjong Academy

American Mahjong Academy is a complete, native American mahjong game and trainer for Mac, iPad and iPhone. Sit at a four-sided table with 152 tiles — flowers and eight jokers included — run the Charleston, expose pungs and kongs, exchange jokers, and declare Mahjong on hands from the card, with real American payouts. WHAT'S INCLUDED • The full Charleston: first and second passes, blind passes, the vote, and the courtesy pass • Exposures (pung, kong, quint, sextet) with jokers, joker exchange from any player's exposure, self-pick and discard Mahjong, discarder-pays-double and the jokerless bonus • Wall games, dead hands and four-hand matches with a rotating East • An original Academy Card with 43 hands in the familiar categories — 2026, Any Like Numbers, Quints, Consecutive Run, 13579, Winds & Dragons, 369, Singles and Pairs • Solo play against four AI levels that plan from the card, from forgiving Easy to card-counting Expert • Online turn-based matches through Game Center • Local Network play over Wi-Fi — a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone can share one table • A Learn-the-Rules guide written for complete beginners BUILT TO TEACH The Hand Helper strip shows the card hands closest to your rack with the tiles you still need faded out. Hover or long-press any tile to see what discarding it would do. Every tile carries its number and suit letter, the card is one tap away during play, and calls are announced out loud. ABOUT THE CARD The bundled Academy Card is an original practice card written for this app in the standard American categories. It is not the National Mah Jongg League card, which is copyrighted and changes every year — everything you learn here transfers straight to a League table. ALWAYS FREE American Mahjong Academy is free, will always be free, and contains no ads and no paywalls. There is no Pro version. If you enjoy the app, optional tip tiers are available from the Support screen — they unlock nothing, they just help fund new hands and features. NO TRACKING No analytics. No tracking. No data collection. No account required.
