It’s April… which means one thing: a brand new National Mah Jongg League card.
In this video, I break down the 2026 NMJL card in a way that actually makes sense, whether you’re brand new or just trying to get ahead this year.
We cover the biggest changes, why this card is easier to play, and the key strategies you need to know before your next game.
Highlights:
- Fewer concealed hands = more approachable for beginners
- The most important tiles this year (don’t pass these in the Charleston)
- The return of chows and sextets • Winds, odds, evens, and how they work together
- Using soap as a zero (this one is the key to having flexibility in 2026)
- Floating pairs and how to play them correctly
- The most common hand pattern on the 2026 card
Next up, full section-by-section breakdowns with real strategy and pivots. Here is the full playlist.
