PLAY WITH YOUR GROUP
Set up a private table and invite your friends to play together in real time. If someone can't make it, a computer player takes the empty seat and the game goes on. Want a quick game with someone new? Quick Match deals you into a hand with another Mahj Parlour player!
PRACTICE THE LATEST CARDS
Play solo against computer opponents at Easy or Normal difficulty. Suggested Hands shows the lines closest to your tiles, and you can pin one above your rack to follow as you play. Your stats track which lines you've won.
LEARN FROM SCRATCH
New to American Mah Jongg? Interactive lessons take you from meeting the tiles through the Charleston, calling, jokers, reading the card, choosing your hand, and defensive play. Every lesson is free, so you can go at your own pace before you sit down at a real table.
DESIGNER TILE SETS
Play on tiles you'd be happy to leave out on the table. Start with Classic Porcelain, inspired by hand-painted Cantonese porcelain, and add sets like New York, Florida Sunshine, St. Lucia Shores, and Coffee House.

I am loving the Mahjong Parlour game! As a new mahjong player, it’s giving me a lot of great practice and helping me learn the different lines and rules.I am running into a glitch though….there have been several times when I have finished my line, I get the message “Ready to Declare!” In my hint box above my tiles, but the blue Mahjong button does not appear. I’m not sure how to declare a mahjong without the button. I end up just having to keep discarding until tiles run out and then no one wins. This has happened at least 3 times today—I’ve had a mahjong, get the “ready to declare” message but can’t actually declare the mahjong.

I am beyond thrilled that after the initial launch of this app, the creators really took to heart all of the feedback and recommendations from us, the initial user community, and all the improvements really make it a standout, especially adding the hand recommendations and that you can pin it as well. This is so handy because when I don’t have time to join a real game, I can keep continuity and play on demand and continue to hone my skill and gameplay. Thank you Joe. Well done to you, your Mom, and your team. Mahj On!
Love—just one question

This is a great app. One of the best bot games I’ve seen or played. I like how you can add friends, I just haven’t done it yet—but am eager to see how it works. My friends and I play with blanks, and I like having them in the Parlour games, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to exchange them. Seems like it would be intuitive because everything else, but every time I try I end up discarding something I wanted to keep. Any help?
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the kind review! To exchange a blank, wait until it’s not your turn, then tap the blank in your rack. A green "Swap" button will appear. Tap that, and you’ll be able to choose which tile in the discard pile you’d like to swap it for. If you continue to have trouble, please email us at support@mahjparlour.com and we’ll be happy to help!
I want to love it!

I love the realistic play but I don’t find myself using it very much because I need my card. I love a game while I’m sitting in a carpool line or taking a break at the office but I don’t love having to balance my phone and card. I think this would be a slam dunk if there were a way to slide the Nmjl card hands out from the side. Other games keep you from having to really strategize and know your card by showing you TOO much about the hands you can build, but this one doesn’t help you enough. Just a place to reference the hands would be so helpful!
This update includes minor bug fixes and design improvements. Thanks for playing!
