Buy & download →You have been invited to play, and you may have said yes a little too quickly. The Beginner's Table is for that exact moment: five small printable references, and enough Prim-voiced commentary to make your first game feel less like a midterm and more like a dinner party.
Inside are the Charleston walkthrough, a tile cheat sheet, the one page that finally explains the NMJL card, a glossary arranged by where you will hear each word, and a beginner line finder that isolates one row of your card at a time. Print it on cardstock and keep it close while you play.
You will not learn American Mah Jongg from these pages. You will learn it from a real card, a real table, and the people who teach you. What this pack does is keep you from being the one who has to ask what a Pung is in the middle of the play.
