Crak Dot Bam: American Mahjong
Play, Learn, Card & Charleston
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Crak Dot Bam is a training app for American Mahjong. Deal a hand, walk the Charleston, play it out, and learn the card, so you read it fast at the table. Free to try.
Mahjong is about the people as much as the game. The more comfortable you are with the game, the more you can enjoy the time with the people. Practice builds confidence.
Deal yourself a hand any time, walk the Charleston, and play it out against opponents who never mind how long you take. Then go sit down at a real table and enjoy the rhythm of the tiles.
THE MAHJONG TABLE
Practice the card until it reads fast. Pick up tips and tricks as you go, and play hands to the end against simulated opponents. The mechanics you learn transfer, so picking up a new card next year gets faster every time.
ALSO IN THE APP
- Crak the Hand: one short deductive puzzle a day.
- Crak Dragon: a solo arcade mode with leaderboards, friends, and teams.
- Learn to Play: lessons for anyone new to American Mahjong, with help built in as you go.
- At the Table: when you are in a real, in-person game, it can walk you through your Charleston passes, hand targets, and discards, turn by turn.
- Garden: your stats, tracked simply. Small milestones, no noise.
- Game Night: pick a time that works for your group. The host proposes times, everyone votes, and it finds the slot that fills the table.
BUILT FOR THE CARD YOU PLAY
You play with your own official card. Tell the app which card you use, and every hand match, Charleston tip, and practice game lines up with it. The card is not included in the app; you bring your own. Tips and hand reads come from an AI and are checked for legal plays before you see them, but they are guidance, not a guarantee. You are still the one at the table.
NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE CARD PUBLISHERS
Crak Dot Bam is an independent training tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Mah Jongg League or the American Mahjong Society. Hand patterns are described to help you read and match against your own card; the app does not reproduce or distribute the official cards.
