Your printed card stays beside you

Which card does JONGG use?
New games use the 2026 National Mah Jongg League card. Have that printed edition beside you when you play.
A new calendar year does not automatically change the supported card. Check this page when you return with a new edition.
What is the card?
In American mahjong, your goal is to complete one of the winning tile patterns on the annual National Mah Jongg League card.
Keep your own printed card beside you for the full list. When help is on, JONGG suggests a few possible patterns and lets you pin one above your rack.
No card yet? You can start with tile basics before playing a full game.
How do I use my card during play?
Keep your printed card beside your screen. During play, open Hands to preview a suggestion and pin it above your rack.
Suggested Hands helps you follow a choice during the game. It does not display the full printed card or replace the League’s official rules.
Do I need to upload my card?
No. Bring your own printed card and keep it with you. This card page does not accept uploads or custom hand patterns, and it does not show the full card.
A card and a tile set do different jobs
The annual card lists the hands for its edition. A JONGG tile set describes the appearance of the digital tiles; changing their artwork does not change the card or the information on a tile.
Can I start with a small exercise?
Yes. Short exercises introduce tiles and individual decisions before a full hand. The practice guide explains what each exercise covers and where to go next.
Get your own printed card
The card is supplied by the National Mah Jongg League. JONGG is independent of the League.
