A letter from Prim · On the Game Pass
The Practice Table That Never Closes
Every game at the table, all year, for $29
My Dearest Table Guests,
Here is the trouble with getting better at this game, and every one of you has felt it. The table meets once a week, if the calendar is kind. An afternoon, a stack of hands, and a Charleston that is over before you have finished thinking about it. Nobody stops the game so you can ask why. Nobody deals you the same rack twice so you can try it the other way. Then you go home, the card goes back in your bag, and a whole week passes before you see it again.
Prim has watched clever, lovely women stay exactly where they are for years because of that week. Not for want of a head for the game. Because the only place they ever practiced was the game itself, where every mistake costs a hand and nobody explains a thing.
And here is the bad advice Prim has come to fight: that you learn this game by playing it and nothing else. You learn it by playing, yes. You get good by practicing the pieces. The pass. The read. The rules. The card. Over and over, at your own pace, with someone telling you what just happened and why. So Prim set a table that never closes, and she would like you to have a seat at it.
~Prim
What It Is
Every game at the table, every level, for a full year
The Game Pass is your key to every game Prim has set on the table, and every level of every one, for twelve months. There are drills for the Charleston, pass by pass, until you could do it in your sleep. Drills for reading a messy rack at a glance and naming the section it is closest to. Drills for reading what the other players have exposed, and for telling a legal play from a violation before anyone has to say so out loud. And there is The Table Live, where up to four friends sit down at one table, with video, the way you play at home.
Every game Prim adds while your year is running is yours too, at no extra charge. And three of the games stay free for good, Game Pass or not: The Daily Tile, Prim’s Discard and Is It Mahjong? Play those as long as you like. Prim would. Then come and see what is behind the other doors.
How It Works
Ten days to look around, then a year at the table
Make your free account.
The moment you do, every game at the whole table opens for your first 10 days, the Game Pass games included. No commitment. When the 10 days are up, the three free games stay yours.
Play all of it.
Your scores, your streaks and your place on the leaderboard are saved as you go. Play on your phone in a waiting room, or on the computer at the kitchen table. Prim is not fussy about where you practice, only that you do.
Keep the whole table for a year.
If you would miss the games when your 10 days end, take the Game Pass: $29 for the year, every game and every level, with your price and everything it holds locked for all twelve months. It renews on its own when the year is up, at the price of the day, and Prim always writes to you before it does. Cancel in a single click and you keep playing right through the year you already paid for.
In Their Own Words
From players’ letters to Prim
I just want you to know I love what you have created here. It's smart. It's fun. And it has helped my game.
I am really enjoying your site. The only problem is I'm not getting anything else done. I just want to play.
First thing every morning I check out The Daily Tile and Prim's Discard. I've only missed your discard one time!
Hi Prim! I love these games.
This drill is a great idea.

The Questions People Ask
And Prim’s honest answers
▸ Can I really play without paying?
Yes, and we hope you do for a while. Your first ten days carry the full Game Pass, so every game on the table is open while you look around. After that, three full games stay free for good: The Daily Tile, Prim's Discard and Is It Mahjong? A free account saves your scores and your spot on the leaderboard. Join the Game Pass only when you'd miss the games if they were gone.
▸ Can I pay monthly instead?
You can. The Game Pass also comes at $6 a month, cancel anytime, and it opens the very same table. We will be honest with you, though: twelve months that way adds up to $72, and the yearly Pass is $29. If you know you'll stay, the year is the better bargain by $43.
▸ Can I give the Game Pass as a gift?
Beautifully. A gift pass is $29: you get a code and a printable certificate, their year starts when they redeem it, and it never auto-renews, because a gift should never send a bill. Bringing your whole foursome? Set the Table opens your seat today and hands you three certificates for your group, $99 for all four.
▸ What happens when my year ends?
Your Pass renews automatically so your table never goes dark mid-streak, at the then-current price, and we email you before every renewal. Don't want another year? Cancel in a click and you keep playing right through the end of the year you already paid for. Your account, your scores, and your streaks are always yours.
▸ If you add games after I join, do I pay more?
No. Every game we add to the Pass while your year is running is yours at no extra cost, right through to the end of your twelve months.
▸ Can I play with my friends?
Yes. The Table Live seats up to four of you at one table, with video, the way you play at home, and the house takes any empty chair. It is part of the Game Pass. If a big new mode is ever offered on its own, we'll tell you plainly, never by quietly pulling something out of your year.
▸ Can I get a refund?
Memberships are final. Because your games and lessons open the moment you join, we do not offer refunds or exchanges on a membership. You can still cancel auto-renewal anytime in a click, and you keep everything through the end of whatever time you already paid for.

I love The Order of the Tile newsletter and The Game Pass. I am a complete newbie and signed up for lots of newsletters, free training apps, etc as I fell down the mahjong rabbit hole. I dropped them all after I found this site. The free games are fun and have a mix of levels, but after a few weeks I happily paid for The Game Pass. It is a GREAT value for the price. And don’t miss the podcast version of her newsletter! Think Lady Whistledown from Bridgerton but with Mahjong as the topic! What’s not to love?

From the first day I tried it I was so impressed. I wanted an app I could enjoy and learn with. This absolutely does both. Unfortunately my schedule keeps me from using it more however every time I have if anything needed an adjustment you responded quickly. That’s what makes this so good. I feel part of it has been my phone, the desktop is easier. You have done a great job making it work.

I find these drills to be very helpful and smartly designed. My game is improving as I clean up my Charleston and better identify patterns and hands. It’s a nice break from other apps that I’ve tried - not just in content, but also tone. This is a very gracious space.

And more from their letters to Prim
I'm really enjoying this app. As a beginner, I'm getting to know the card.
Thanks to the practice I get with playing, teaching, and YOUR GENEROSITY!
The challenges are helping me to learn the card. I'm a true beginner.
Very useful exercise! Great idea.
Your Seat Is Waiting
A last word from Prim
Prim will not pretend the Game Pass is for everyone. If you play twice a year at the beach house, the free games will see you through beautifully, and Prim is glad to have you at them. But if you are the woman who reads the card in bed, who replays a Charleston in her head on the drive home, who would rather practice the pass than apologize for it, then this table was set for you.
Ten days costs you nothing. Play all of it. If you would miss it, keep it.
Or start with your 10 free days
Until we meet at the table, may your rack be blessed and your Charleston ruthless.Prim, as always
