About American MahJong Defense
What Hand Are They Playing?
Your friend has exposed some tiles, now guess the hand they are playing. Singles and pairs rules are optional.
Guess and Check
Tap a tile in the lower 3 rows to complete the exposed hand. Continue guessing until you expose the complete pattern. Some tiles will be played already. The missing tiles will not be in the hidden pattern.
Random Patterns
Patterns are selected randomly out of all of the possible combinations for the 2021 NMJL card, except for concealed hands. Also the hand FFFF 2222 0000 21 is not used.
Jokers
Jokers are used in quints only.
Points
Points start at 10 and count down for each missed tile. Since more than one pattern is often possible getting 10s will involve some luck, but try for the highest score possible.
This is not the American MahJong Practice app
For American MahJong Practice go to https://apps.apple.com/app/id1458051621 on the App Store.
