A scoring app for casual American mahjong, the kind played at kitchen tables, not tournaments. Set your own house rules, crown a winner every game night, and play for a season title worth bragging about.
Only the host needs the app. Your players RSVP and see their own stats with just a name.
"Nothing changed about how we play. Everything changed about how much we care who wins."
what happens when the season is on the line
Two points for a mahjong. One for a jokerless hand. One more if it was concealed. Reward whatever your table brags about, and leave out the rest.
Two points for a mahjong, plus whatever your table rewards. Jokerless hands, concealed hands, back to back wins. Turn on only what you want.
Tap who won and tap which bonuses applied. Points are added and the standings update themselves.
Whoever tops the game night takes the title, and drinks from the good glass next time. Every game night rolls into a season too, so there is always something bigger on the line than tonight.
Prefer to play by the card? Official NMJL scoring is here too, a second mode that uses the values from your own card. Not affiliated with the National Mah Jongg League.
The point values are yours to set. Here's the exact same jokerless, concealed win, scored two different ways, because two different tables decided it should count for two different amounts.
Same win, same night, and neither table is scoring it wrong. Set your own values once in House Rules, and every hand from then on scores exactly that way, automatically.
One board rewards turning up. The other rewards playing well when you do. Nobody is out of it just because life got busy.
Most points across the season. Every night you play adds to your total, so showing up counts for something.
Best average per game night. Miss a few weeks for work or travel and you are still right in the running.
Because game night is never as tidy as an app expects it to be.
One link tells you who's actually free, before you ever lock in a night.
If your group already has a standing night, you don't need to ask which nights work, you just need to know who's actually coming.
Six backgrounds, ten accents, and a handful of presets to start from. Mix your own, and every combination is designed to stay easy to read.
Run your weekly game. Track a whole season. Settle who's really best once and for all.
Play with the kids on a Tuesday. Different people each week is fine, the standings sort out the bragging rights.
No, it is not affiliated with the League. It does support official NMJL scoring, as one of two modes: pick official and the values come from this year's card, with points moving from payers to winner, or pick casual, the default, where your table sets what a mahjong is worth and which bonuses count. Switch whenever you like.
It can. In official NMJL mode you enter the value printed on your own card for the winning hand, and the app handles the payments, including who pays double. It does not reproduce the card, its hand names or its values, so you still play from the card you bought.
Yes, that's the idea. You set what a mahjong is worth and which bonuses count, and every game night is scored that way. Change it whenever your table decides. Still working out what yours should be? There's a guide to American mahjong house rules on this site.
No. One person keeps score. Everyone else can be added as a player without an account, and anyone who wants to follow along on their own phone can use a free view-only code.
No. Plenty of groups play for points and bragging rights only. The Mahj Report keeps a running score and a season title, so a night still means something without any money on the table.
A wall game is a hand where the tiles run out before anyone declares mahjong, so nobody wins it. The Mahj Report logs a wall game as a hand played with no winner, so it counts toward the night without awarding points.
They're different games that share a name. Mahjong solitaire is the single-player tile-matching puzzle found in app stores and on free game sites. American mahjong is a four-player tile game played around a table, usually with the National Mah Jongg League card. This app is for that one.
There is a free printable American mahjong score sheet here. One page, six hands, a row for your own house rules, and no email required.
All of them are in use. The National Mah Jongg League and most American clubs write it as two words with two Gs, mah jongg. Newer brands and most players under fifty write it as one word, mahjong. Mah-jongg, majong and mahjongg turn up too, all pointing to the same family of games.
Set your house rules, log the hands as they happen, and let the season standings build themselves.
