Questions
- How do I know if I have Mah Jongg?
- You have Mah Jongg when your 14 tiles match one hand on the card you are playing, tile for tile. A Joker may stand in for a tile in a group of three or more.
- Can a Joker be used in a pair?
- No. A Joker can stand for a tile in a group of three, four, five or six. It cannot be used in a pair or as a single tile, even for Mah Jongg.
- How do I declare Mah Jongg?
- At a table with real tiles, say "Mah Jongg" when you draw or call the tile that completes your hand, then lay your tiles out so the other players can check them against the card. At our tables the table calls Mah Jongg for you when you draw the tile, and gives you a "Take it for mahjong" button when another player throws it.
- What is a concealed hand?
- A hand marked C on the card. You may not call a thrown tile to build it, except the last tile for Mah Jongg.
- What if I have fewer than 14 tiles?
- Ask anyway. You will see the hand your tiles are closest to and what it still needs.
- Which card does this check against?
- The card you choose at the top of the page. It starts on this year's card, and the other cards in our card library are in the list.
