Mini Mahj

Mini Mahj is a single daily hand of American mahjong, dealt the same way for everyone. The promise is written on the title page, "Same tiles. Same wall. Skill decides.", and that's exactly what sets the game apart from a regular mahjong table: the deal stops being a personal lottery and becomes a shared problem. The table places three named opponents around you, Rose, Ivy and Lily, each with a floral emblem. The round opens with the Charleston, the ritual passing phase of American mahjong: the banner indicates the direction ("Pass Right") and asks you to select three tiles. At the top of the screen, a Card button opens the combinations card, a Groups button shows groupings, and a Wall counter shows what remains to draw. Your hand lines up at the bottom, rearrangeable by hand or with a Sort button.

1. Start the day's hand from "Play Today's Game".
2. Check the combinations card via the Card button before deciding what to keep.
3. Select three tiles to pass in the direction indicated by the Charleston banner.
4. Organize your hand at the bottom of the screen by dragging or with the Sort button, then play against Rose, Ivy and Lily while watching the Wall counter.

Online American mahjong almost always suffers from the same flaw: you lose, and you never know whether it was the hand or yourself. Mini Mahj removes the question by giving everyone the same wall, the same tiles and the same three opponents, so a bad day becomes information about your own play rather than about bad luck. The format is short, the Charleston comes immediately, and the interface does exactly what's needed: the combinations card a click away, the sortable hand, the wall displayed. It's daily mahjong taken seriously, with the additional honesty of warning that its card is not yet the official one.

The game follows the structure of American mahjong, with a passing phase before actual play, a combinations card consultable during the game, a wall counter and three named opponents, the same for everyone according to the page. There is no color-coding or hinting: the feedback is the hand itself and what the opponents let pass.

Core play

A single daily hand of American mahjong is provided, "Same tiles. Same wall. Skill decides.", dealt identically for everyone. The round opens with the Charleston pass phase and three fixed opponents (Rose, Ivy and Lily), and shows the in-game tools (Card, Groups, Sort, Wall counter). The site presents one default daily deal as the playable experience.

• Consult the Card button before passing tiles, not after: it lists the allowed combinations, so it determines what is disposable.
• The game warns that it currently uses its own integrated card while awaiting approval of the official NMJL card, and that a few 2026 lines may have slipped in: a player used to the official card should reread the list before trusting their instincts.
• The hand is reorganized by touch or with Sort: grouping before the Charleston avoids passing a tile that quietly completed a combination.
