We have lots of resources to help players who are newer to American Mah Jongg - and many of these are absolutely free:

• The fundamentals are reviewed in our Beginner's Guide.
• A summary of the key concepts/rules can be found on our printable Cheat Sheet
• Another good resource to learn the basics is Debbie Barnett's Beginner's Series on YouTube
• Take your game to the next level with our Strategy Guide
• Check out the Exercise Room, on the Game Launchpad. This is a set of exercises to help practice the basics and learn the card faster (more info can be found here).
• Another useful tool is our "Practice Mode" (select "Enable Practice Mode" under "Just-for-fun" games with bots, on the Game Launchpad). This mode will give you suggestions on hands to play, help you better track discards and figure out which hands the bots may be working towards. For more information on the Practice Mode, check out this page.
