Mahjong Cheat Sheet Printable: Rules Guide, Charleston, Score Cards, Host Kit, Letter A4

For the friend who just joined a mahjong group and keeps a rules sheet tucked under her rack. Thirteen pages that get a new player through the Charleston, the calls and the jokers without stopping the table, and give the host everything she needs to run a night for four or sixteen.

The look is garden party: soft cream paper, a scalloped botanical frame, hand-drawn bams, craks and dots, and a rose and sage palette. It sits well with grandmillennial, preppy and country club table settings, and prints cleanly on any home printer.

WHY MAHJONG PLAYERS LOVE IT
An illustrated quick guide to every tile, the sets and the numbers that matter.
How to play in eight short sections, with a House Rules Vary box so your table's quirks are respected.
The Charleston drawn from East's seat, both passes, the blind pass and the courtesy pass, plus a can I call it, can I use a joker table by section of a hand.
A Table Wisdom page of strategy for newer players: what to keep, what to pass, when to call and how to read exposures.
Score cards and table tallies two to a page, a 16 player rotation where nobody meets the same tablemate twice, wind seat cards, table cards, a tent card cheat sheet for every table, a host checklist, prize tags, a 5 x 7 invitation and a season tracker.

DETAILS
Five PDFs: US Letter and A4, each in a cream version and an ink saver version, plus a 5.5 x 8.5 score card. 13 pages per set. Print at actual size, never fit to page. Cut lines are marked on every two up page. All fonts are embedded so the files print exactly as shown.

GOOD TO KNOW
This is a digital download. Nothing ships. Rules follow the way American mahjong is played at most club and country club tables and work with the current card. The card itself is not included and is not reproduced. For personal use, print as many copies as your group needs.

Wondering if this works for a beginner group? Yes: the quick guide, the Charleston page and the cheat sheet tents were written for players in their first season, and the rotation and tally pages keep a larger group moving. What do you give someone who just learned mahjong? Print the cheat sheet tents and the quick guide on card stock, slip them under a rack, and it is the best welcome gift a new player gets. Can I gift a printable? Yes: buy it, print the set, and hand it over, or forward the PDF to the host. Does it include the card? No; the current card is sold separately by the league and is not reproduced here.
