Learn American Mahjong in minutes. Then play.
Tilesday is an iPhone and iPad app for new players: short lessons you play with real tiles, then games against fair bots that see only what you see.
What you get
- 18 lessons, free forever. The tiles, the Charleston, reading the card, calling, jokers, scoring and strategy. Every lesson is a few taps on real tiles, and every wrong answer tells you why.
- Fair bots. Easy, Medium and Hard opponents play by the same rules you do and never peek at your tiles.
- Every "no" explained. Try a move the rules don't allow and Tilesday says why, and what to do instead.
- See how close you are. The card shows how many tiles each hand still needs, and a coach can suggest a discard with the reason.
- A daily puzzle. Seven tiles, one try, the same for everyone. Share your result with your club.
