The games side of Highland Made. Practice, play, and get better, one hand at a time.
Never played before?
Start with your first hand
A five-minute lesson where you tap the tiles instead of reading rules. You'll meet the suits, dragons, and jokers, then play a real hand and call Mahjong.
The Game Table
Play a whole game, start to finish
Sit down with three computer players and play it all: the Charleston, calls, jokers, blanks, and scoring. You make every decision, and the coach is there whenever you want a second opinion before you throw.
Choose how strong the other players are, and switch to full screen when you want the tiles big.

The Charleston
A fresh rack and one question: which three do you pass? The hardest part for new players.

Play a handWhy a lab?
A place to try things, miss, and try again.
Nobody learns Mahjong by reading about it. You learn by holding a rack of tiles, making a choice, and finding out what happened. Mahj Lab is built for exactly that: short puzzles when you have five minutes, full games when you have an evening, and a coach who only speaks up when you ask.
It grew out of teaching Mahjong, where the same questions came up at every table. Which hand do I go for? What do I pass? Is this tile safe to throw? The lab is where you can ask those questions as many times as you like.
Every room uses the current card and tracks how you are doing, so you can see the parts of the card that need work and spend your practice where it counts.
