Draw, discard, claim melds, and race the table to a winning hand.
Sit East at a four-seat Mahjong table against three AI opponents. Build chows, pongs, kongs, and a pair while tracking discards and choosing the safest tile to throw.
Looking for the tile-matching game where you clear pairs from a stacked layout? That puzzle is Mahjong Solitaire, and you can play it free at www.playmahjongsolitaire.org. This site is the real four-player Mahjong: the table game played with draws, discards, claims, and winning hands.
Real Mahjong is a game of hand building, memory, risk, and timing. Each turn you draw a tile, decide whether your hand is complete, and discard one tile to the table. Other players may claim discards to complete melds, so every discard matters.
This Mahjong online game focuses on making that core table experience playable in the browser. You play the East seat against three AI opponents. The interface keeps your concealed hand, open melds, discard rivers, claim buttons, wall count, and recent table messages visible so you can make decisions quickly.
Once the flow feels natural, the rules page walks through chows, pongs, kongs, and winning hands, the strategy guide covers tile efficiency and safe discards, and the American Mahjong guide explains the NMJL-style game with racks, jokers, and the annual card.

A standard winning Mahjong hand has four melds and a pair. Melds can be three-number sequences in one suit, three matching tiles, or four matching tiles.
Every discard gives the table information and may give another player a claim. Strong Mahjong play means improving your own hand while avoiding dangerous throws.
This table uses the core four-melds-and-a-pair win condition so new players can learn the flow before layering regional scoring variants.
