What is Mahjong Classic?
Mahjong Classic is four-seat table mahjong. You sit in the East seat, and the other three seats are bots called Naga S, Naga W and Naga N. Each game is one hand.
It uses 136 tiles without flowers or seasons, and there are no Kongs. The bots never see your tiles.
How to play
- You start with 14 tiles and discard first. Play goes East, South, West, then North.
- Tap a tile to pick it, then tap it again to discard it.
- Claim a discard with Pung (from anyone) or Chow (only from the player before you). Choose Skip if you'd rather not.
- Win with four sets (Pungs or Chows) plus a pair, from a discard or a tile you draw yourself. If the wall runs out, it's a draw.
Good to know
- You play against three bots, so you can play any time.
- Unlimited hints suggest a tile to discard.
- On a phone held upright, your hand shows in two rows. Turn your phone for a wider table.
- Points only ever go up: a full hand 100, drawing it yourself 50, all Pungs 50, and one suit with no winds or dragons 100.
Tips from Bos Naga
- Hold on to middle numbers like 4, 5 and 6. They're the easiest to turn into a run.
- Watch what the others discard. It tells you a lot about the tiles they're collecting.
- Don't rush to discard a dragon or wind tile if you already hold two of them.
Frequently asked questions
Which mahjong rules are used?
The basic four sets and a pair, with 136 tiles, no Kongs and one hand per game. A Pung can be claimed from anyone, a Chow only from the player before you.
How do I earn points?
Completing a hand gives 100 points, plus extra points if you draw the last tile yourself, all your sets are Pungs, or every tile is from one suit. If a bot wins or it's a draw, you get 0, but your points never go down.
Can I undo a move?
No, because the other players react to your discard straight away. You can use a hint at any time, though.
Does Mahjong Classic cost money?
No. It's free and there's no sign-up. Points are for play only. They cannot be bought and have no cash value.
