American mahjong, Charleston and all

A 152-tile set with eight jokers, three Charleston passes before play begins, and an original Odyssey card of hands refreshed each season — the full American rhythm, right in your browser.

What to know about this ruleset

Eight jokers, 152 tiles

Flowers and jokers join the set, and jokers act as wilds in groups of three or more identical tiles.

The Charleston

Pass three tiles right, across and left before play, with an optional second Charleston when all four agree.

An original Odyssey card

You win only with hands from our own card — year, evens, quints and more — refreshed each season.

Frequently asked questions

How is American mahjong different?

There is no chow, and you win only with hands printed on the card. Eight jokers, the Charleston tile pass, and flowers played as ordinary hand tiles set it apart.

Do you use the NMJL card?

No. The NMJL annual card is copyrighted, so this game plays with its own original card — the Odyssey card — in familiar category styles.

Is it free?

Yes. Nothing to install or pay for — sit down against three AI players straight from your browser.
