American Mahjong Royalty

Missy Mahjong

Nashville, with Chicago and Lake Geneva

She read the new card first, and read it right.

When the 2026 card arrived in mailboxes on March 17, Missy Mahjong had a full strategic review published by March 20. Prim opened her very first Who's Talking with that fact, because speed like that is never an accident. It comes from years of deep engagement with the game, the kind that turns a player into a resource.

Missy teaches, runs social clubs and hosts retreats from Nashville, with a presence in Chicago and Lake Geneva. She describes her reviews as both data driven and intuitive: what the numbers say, and what patterns show themselves when she studies the card. Her first read of 2026 told players to keep every flower in the Charleston and to hold their jokers rather than expose early. She was first, Prim wrote, and she was right.
