Five coached practice games

Real games against three computer players, with the Coach beside you. In the first game it helps with every move. Each game after that it helps a little less, and in the fifth you play on your own.

Start the first game

  1. Game 1

    The Coach plays beside you

    The Coach picks every pass and every throw with you and tells you why. Change any of them if you like.

    Your opponents: three Gentle players.

    Play game 1
  2. Game 2

    You throw, the Coach watches

    The Coach still picks your passes. In play the throws are yours, and when a strong player would have thrown something else, the Coach says which tile and why.

    Your opponents: two Gentle and one Friendly.

    Play game 2
  3. Game 3

    You choose everything

    Every pass and throw is yours. The Coach speaks up only after a throw a strong player would not make.

    Your opponents: one Gentle and two Friendly.

    Play game 3
  4. Game 4

    The Coach waits to be asked

    The Coach says nothing unless you press Suggest. Ask when you are stuck, not on every turn.

    Your opponents: two Friendly and one Strong.

    Play game 4
  5. Game 5

    On your own

    No Coach this game: you have the card and nothing else. When it ends, the report card shows every decision next to the one the Coach would have made.

    Your opponents: one Friendly and two Strong.

    Play game 5

Questions

How do I practise American Mah Jongg with help?
Play the five coached games in order. In the first the Coach picks every pass and throw with you and says why. By the fifth you play a whole game on your own, and the report card shows every decision next to the Coach's.
Do I have to win to move on?
No. A game counts once you play it to the end, whoever wins. You can play any game again as often as you like.
Is it free?
Yes, all five games, with no account. Sign in and the school keeps your place on any computer and gives you a certificate when you finish.
Which card do the practice games use?
The school's own card, so nobody needs to own a printed card to practise. When you are ready, the table plays any card you choose.
