American Mahjong

American Mahjong is the Western take on the game, played with a 152-tile set that adds eight jokers and eight flowers to the usual tiles. Winning requires matching one of the 72 hands on the official NMJL 2026 card — with the exact card built in. The Charleston (three rounds of passing; this MVP implements the first) adds a trading phase before play begins. Points come from the matched card line.
