How It Works

Mahjong is a game of patterns, strategy, and fast decisions.

Knowing which hand to play is where most players get stuck.

The American Mahjong hand analyzer that shows you your strongest options before the first tile is thrown.

With 70+ possible hands on the card, identifying the strongest direction quickly can feel overwhelming — especially early in the game.

The Mahjong IQ hand analyzer analyzes your tiles and helps you identify the hands with the strongest potential — so you can make smarter decisions from the very beginning of the game.
