Lesson 9 of 13

Game Flow Checkpoint

Match simplified NMJL-style hand lines by selecting the right 14 tiles from a full American Mah Jongg tile pool.

Build the hand you see on the card

Read the simplified card line, then choose the tiles that match it. The goal is not speed. The goal is to connect the colored hand pattern to a real 14-tile shape.

Read the target before touching the tile pool

Start by naming the groups out loud. This sample asks for FF plus three four-tile number groups in three different suits. Jokers may help inside the kongs, but the flower pair must stay exact.

Count 14 tiles total: two flowers, four 1s in one suit, four 2s in another suit, and four 3s in the third suit.

Build five 14-tile hands

Tap tiles from the pool to match each hand example. Flowers can be any two flower tiles when the line says FF. Jokers may stand in for eligible groups, but not pairs or singles.
