The whole first lesson on two pages. Keep it at the table.
You learned the basics. You felt good walking out. Then you sat down to play three days later, and your brain went quiet right when you needed it.
This is the page you keep next to your rack. Tiles, the Charleston, jokers, reading the card, the whole flow of a game, laid out so one glance puts you back on track.
What this is
The two-page reference I hand my students in class. Now it's yours to print, laminate, and keep at the table. Everything you need to play, nothing you don't.
What's inside
The Tiles. Three suits and their dragons, winds, flowers, and jokers, all sorted so the set stops looking like a pile.
The Melds. Singles, pairs, pungs, kongs, quints, and sextets, with where a joker works and where it doesn't.
Reading the Card. What the letters mean, what the colors mean (not what you think), and the fine print worth reading.
Setting Up. The wall, the deal, and the count that lands everyone on the right number of tiles.
Finding Your Line. How to sort your rack and pick a neighborhood instead of chasing one house.
The Charleston. Both rounds, the courtesy pass, the blind pass, and the tiles you almost never give away.
Game Play. Every turn in three steps, how to call a tile, and the moment a discard becomes final.
Mahjong. How to claim the win.
Who this is for
The new player who wants the rules at a glance, not a chapter. The student who took my class and wants the handout to keep. The returning beginner who needs a quick refresher before her group meets. If you can count to 9, you can use this.
How it pairs
Want the full story behind every box on this sheet? Mahjong Made Simple is the ten-page guide that walks through all of it, slow and clear. This cheat sheet is the quick reference you keep beside it. Read the guide once, then let this page do the reminding.
The details
One PDF, two pages, US letter. Instant download after checkout. You'll want the current NMJL card and a set of tiles to play along.
Single-player license. Use it to learn and play as much as you like. Please don't copy, resell, or share the file. One purchase, one player.
Digital delivery only. Because this is a downloadable product, all sales are final. No returns or refunds.
One more thing
Take it to your local print shop and have it laminated. A laminated sheet wipes clean, survives a spilled drink, and tucks into your bag so you have it with you at all times.
