Mahjong School Turns American Mahjong into a Syllabus
A plainly written American mahjong curriculum covering the NMJL card, tiles, Charleston, jokers, scoring, strategy, etiquette, and table references.
Field notes
The homepage structures the subject as a progression: identify the tile set, learn the Charleston, read the annual card, handle jokers, distinguish closed from open hands, and spot a dead hand. It also branches into practical table material, including defensive play, reading the table, etiquette, rulings and cases, cheat sheets, and a dead-hand checker. The visible rules specify that jokers can fill groups of three or more but cannot form pairs or singles.
