The Summer Card Deck for American Mahjong

The whole set, ready for the beach.

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 a long afternoon at the shore. Sand dollars for the Dots, no two alike, with a sandcastle on the One. Surfboards for the Bams, each its own color, with a lighthouse on the One. Flip-flops for the Craks, left and right alternating, with a lounge chair on the One. The lifeguard chair flies its flag toward each wind, a lobster and a sea turtle stand for the Red and the Green dragon, a seashell is the Soap, a shark fin is the Black, eight beach flowers for the flowers, and sunglasses lead a beach bag of eight Jokers.

Every card says what it is. The number sits in the same corner on every card, deep ocean blue with a sand gold outline, so a first-timer at the beach house can count the surfboards and play the hand.

Perfect for a long weekend at the lake house or the beach house, a summer mahjong night on the porch, a hostess gift for the friend who already plays, and teaching, since a first-timer can see the sand dollars are the Dots.

The Summer Solution Card holds ten ready made summer solutions and two bonus Black Dragon hands. The ten: Beach Rose, The Tide Rolls In, The Shoreline, The Lifeguard's Watch, A Row of Flip-Flops, Low Tide Treasures, The Surf Rack, Slow and Steady, Sunrise to Sunset and The Tide Pool. The two bonus hands: Beer, and Shark Fin. Beach Rose spells it out in tiles. They are not from any league card. Your NMJL card and your rules do not change.

The same deck plays online here June through August. Choose Summer under Tile style and every game on the site wears it.
