ABOUT
American Mah Jongg has been played in the United States for nearly a century. Over generations, it has developed its own card, customs, and culture, shaped and sustained by the people who play it.
For most of that time, players had what they needed to play the game. What was missing was a clear organization created with the players in mind.
The American Mah Jongg Association exists to fill that space.
It is a player-focused organization built to serve people who play American Mah Jongg today.
Founded to complement the annual card, the Association provides a clear home, accessible resources, and responsive support for players as they navigate the game.
By working closely with longtime players, instructors, and tournament hosts, we created an Association for the modern American Mah Jongg player, one that reflects how the game is played today while respecting the traditions players value.
At its core, the American Mah Jongg Association exists to give American Mah Jongg players a clear home.
Players come to American Mah Jongg in different ways, and over time, many of us play the game in more than one setting. We sit at different tables, learn from different people, and pick up habits that work for us.
In the middle of all that, it helps to have a place that feels steady and familiar. A place that respects the history of the game, understands how players actually enjoy it today, and welcomes questions without judgment.
The American Mah Jongg Association exists to be that home base. A place players can rely on for perspective and support, even as they play with new groups, try new approaches, and deepen their experience with the game.
Our mission is simple: to be a reliable home and source of support for people who play American Mah Jongg.
The American Mah Jongg Association envisions a future where American Mah Jongg players have a clear, enduring home they can rely on as the game continues to be played, shared, and passed along.
