Who these mahjong printables are for

New players who want a mahjong cheat sheet beside the rack, teachers running a beginner table, and hosts planning a mahjong game night or club afternoon. The guides teach general rules and strategy for American mahjong and work with any year's card.

You'll still need the current year's card. These guides don't reproduce the official National Mah Jongg League card, which is sold separately by the League. GameNightKits isn't affiliated with the National Mah Jongg League.

Questions people ask

Do these include the National Mah Jongg League card?

No. The guides teach general American mahjong rules and strategy and do not reproduce the official card. You'll need the current year's card, sold separately by the National Mah Jongg League.

Will the Charleston Guide work with this year's card?

Yes. The Charleston passes are the same every year, so the guide works with any year's card.

What paper sizes are included?

Every mahjong product comes in both US Letter and A4.

Which one should a beginner buy?

Start with the Cheat Sheet. If the Charleston is the part that confuses you, the Beginner Starter Bundle has the Cheat Sheet and the Charleston Guide together. Hosts can get everything in the Complete American Mahjong Kit.
