Mahj Parlour - American Mahjong, beautifully built for iPhone and iPad

by•
My mom has played American Mahjong with her friends for years. She kept asking why every mahjong app looked so dated. So I built Mahj Parlour: practice against smart bots, host private games with friends, or match with real players online. Collect beautifully designed tile sets, sharpen your game with built-in lessons, and take on daily challenges. Built specifically for American Mahjong — and built to actually look good.

Hey Product Hunt šŸ‘‹ I'm Joe, a solo indie dev launching Mahj Parlour today. The honest origin story: my mom and her friends have played American Mahjong every week for years. This winter, I sat down at her table, looked at the iOS apps she'd tried, and couldn't believe how rough they were. Tiny tiles. Confusing UIs. Tile art that looked photocopied from a 1998 set. For a game with millions of devoted players, the digital options felt like an afterthought. So I spent the last several months building the app I wished existed for her: šŸ€„ Three ways to play: solo vs. smart bots, private games with friends, or online matchmaking šŸ€„ Full NMJL card with rule enforcement šŸ€„ Three hand-illustrated tile sets — Classic Porcelain, Venice, and Safari — with more on the way šŸ€„ 12 built-in lessons from "what's a Charleston" to defensive play šŸ€„ Pricing: lessons are free, subscribe to play (with a free trial). No ads. Let me know what you think!
