How it works

THE GAP

Knowing the rules isn’t knowing the game

You can recite a hand from the card. You can make it through a round. But the Charleston still feels like a sprint, hand selection still feels like a guess, and you're not always sure you made the right call.

That gap between knowing how to play and feeling sharp at the table is real. And it doesn't close by waiting for game night to come around again.

It closes with quiet, focused reps. Practice that doesn't need three other women on your calendar. That's what SoloMahj is for.

MEET SOLOMAHJ

A solitaire that actually builds your game

SoloMahj was invented by the instructors at the Mahjong Academy of Dallas to help their students grasp the game faster. What they didn't expect: they fell in love with playing it themselves (and the rest of us did too!).

It's a screen-free, ten-minute way to play a hand whenever the urge hits. Part skill-builder, part wind-down ritual. All Mahjong.

You bring your board, your tiles, and your card. That's the whole list.

Here’s how it goes

4 steps. Simpler than it looks. Read it once, play it once, and the rhythm sticks.

01

Build your hand

Draw 13 tiles from the bag and arrange them however feels right. A rack is optional, since no one's watching but you. This is your starting hand, just like at the table.

03

Continue or stop

After the first Charleston, stop and take an optional courtesy pass (0-3 tiles), or run a second Charleston in reverse (L-O-R). Finish with 13 tiles on your rack, toss the discards from the board back in the bag.

02

Run the Charleston

Follow the R-O-L sequence printed right on the board. Right, Over, Left - discard 3, draw 3, each time. The left pass can include a blind pass, same as the real game.

04

Play to win

Draw from the bag (your wall), discard one tile into the next open spot on the board, repeat. Make Mahjong before all 24 spaces fill up - or use your one final draw, the Tile of Last Resort, for a total of 25 turns.

THE PAYOFF

What you actually build.

Three quiet upgrades that show up the next time you sit down with your Mahjong group.

The knowledge

The more you handle the tiles alone, the faster you recognize patterns, suits, and combinations under pressure at the real table.

Charleston confidence

Practice the full passing sequence at your own pace. No clock, no nudging. The Charleston goes from stressful to automatic.

Sharper decisions

Every draw is a real decision. Keep or discard? Pivot or commit? Solo reps sharpen the thinking that makes you dangerous at the table.

START SMALL

Try it on paper first.

Not sure if solo practice is your thing? Start with Gaia’s digital guide, a two-page printable PDF with the R-O-L-L-O-R board on page one and the rules on page two. Print it tonight, play it tonight.

Use it for a few sessions. See if the rhythm clicks. Then when you know you want a board of your own (and you will), come back here and pick the one that matches your tiles.
