Rules cheat sheet
The tiles
- 152 tiles: three suits (Bams, Craks, Dots) numbered 1–9, four winds, three dragons, 8 flowers and 8 jokers.
The deal
- East gets 14 tiles and everyone else gets 13. East discards first, after the Charleston.
The Charleston
- Pass 3 tiles right, across, then left. This round is required.
- An optional second round goes left, across, then right, and everyone must agree to it.
- The last pass of a round can be blind (you pass along tiles you just received without looking).
- Never pass a joker. A courtesy pass across (0–3 tiles) finishes it.
A turn
- Draw a tile, then discard one and say its name out loud.
Calling a discard
- Take a discard only to make a set of three or more (then expose it), or to win.
- Hands marked C on the card are concealed. Don’t expose sets for them.
Jokers
- Wild in sets of three or more, never in a pair or a single.
- You can’t call a discarded joker.
- On your turn, swap the real tile for a joker in any exposed set.
Winning
- Complete a hand on this year’s NMJL card with 14 tiles and say “Mahjong!”
- A wrong call makes your hand dead. You keep playing but can’t win.
- If the wall runs out with no winner, it’s a draw.
House rules and payouts vary, so agree on them before you start.
