Practice between games
If you want to practice without a full table, you can play a simplified one-player version of Mahjong. Great for reinforcing tile patterns and Charleston flow.

The NMJL card is the official guide used to build Mahjong hands each year.
You can purchase one through my website or directly from the League.
