Buy Once, Never Wonder What You’re Missing.
Most people who buy just the E-Book come back for the Cheat Sheets within their first few games anyway — this just saves you the second purchase.
I’m a total beginner. Do I need the Cheat Sheets too?
The E-Book teaches you the game. The Cheat Sheets are what you’ll reach for once you’re playing for real. The Kit gives you both and saves $7.
I already know the basics. Is the E-Book still worth it?
Yes. It fills the gaps that trip up newer players, like the Charleston, Jokers, and reading the card, and the Kit costs only $10 more than the Cheat Sheets alone.
How do I get my files?
Both the E-Book and the 9 Cheat Sheets arrive by email the moment you order, as PDFs you can re-download anytime.

Marnie Sussman
Marnie has been playing American Mahjong for years — learning it the real way, at real tables, from patient friends and a lot of trial and error along the way. She created this course after watching beginner after beginner get stuck on the exact same handful of things, and realizing no one had written the clear, step-by-step explanation she wished she'd had when she was starting out.
This course is the result: everything explained the way it should have been explained the first time.
Marnie wrote this guide for new players: every lesson carefully researched and checked, then explained step by step in plain English. This course is the result: everything explained the way it should have been explained the first time.
