The Gridiron Card Deck for American Mahjong

The whole set, suited up for game day.

Digital download, delivered instantly.

All 156 tiles as printable playing cards. Cricut cuttable, for an easy print and cut. Lighter to travel, easier to pack. Drawn for football season. Footballs for the Dots, laced and counted out the way a Dot has always been. Water bottles for the Bams, with the sideline cooler on the One. The number over the goalposts for every Crak. The ref throws his flag toward each wind, the mascot in his helmet is the Red and the Green dragon, the visitor in a black helmet is the Black, and the coin from the toss is the Soap. Pom poms for the flowers, and the ref himself, whistle up, is the Joker.

Every card says what it is. The number sits in the same corner on every card in a jersey numeral, crimson with a gray outline, so a first-timer at the tailgate can count the bottles and play the hand.

Perfect for the game day table, before kickoff and through halftime. A tailgate set that fits in a tote. A gift for the friend who has the football mat and the football tiles and would like the cards too. And teaching, since a first-timer can see the footballs are the Dots.

The Gridiron Solution Card holds ten ready made game day solutions and two bonus Black Dragon hands. The ten: The Coin Toss, First and Ten, Fourth and One, The Red Zone, Touchdown, Extra Point, Field Goal, Two Four Six Eight, The Final Score and The Ref. The two bonus hands: The Bowl Game, and The Upset, Visitors 28. They are not from any league card. Your NMJL card and your rules do not change.

The same deck plays online here for the whole football season, through January 25th. Choose Gridiron under Tile style and every game on the site wears it.
