Strategy, tile by tile
Charleston decisions, hand selection, defensive discarding, reading exposures. The dry wit is free; the saves are forever.
American Mah Jongg
Be the player your table trusts.
Sharper strategy, settled rulings, and a better-run game night — one carousel at a time. Mahj Court is the home of @mahjcourt on Instagram: the club table, in your feed.
What happens here
Four seats, four conversations
Every Mahj Court carousel belongs to one of four franchises. Learn the colors once and you can read the whole feed at a glance.
The ruling, and how to say it kindly
The situation, the ruling, the graceful sentence that settles it — so a rules question never has to become a table argument.
Hosting a better game night
Table setup, rituals, and the small hosting moves that buy you one more hand. The warmest seat at the table.

The Rulings Digest
One settled ruling and one rack decision in your inbox each week — the week’s most-forwarded table questions, answered the way we teach them. Every spring it becomes the New Card Season readiness series: what carries over, what to practice, how to be ready before the new card lands. Decisions and readiness, never card content.
One email a week. No noise, no spam, unsubscribe anytime.

Your Tuesday group, anytime: Mahj & Friends is asynchronous American Mah Jongg for iPhone — play your turn when life allows, with your own circle only.
Full transparency: Mahj & Friends is our own app, made by the people behind Mahj Court. We recommend it the way we’d recommend anything we teach with — because it works.

Things worth gathering around
A short shelf of table goods we’d defend in a comment thread. Every product here must pass the same vetting before a link earns its place — relevant to the table, fairly priced, from a seller with real returns.
