Does this card use the same Mah Jongg rules as the National Mah Jongg League?

I don't know about all the rules but these were not the right cards for the group I play with. They only use the National card, so I wasn't able to use the cards.

It has different hands and it is a nice change of pace and can be quite a bit of fun with the right group. My playing group has used it and we enjoy it...

ABSOLUTELY NOT. they are all made up and cannot be played when others are using the mah jongg league's rules. I threw it in the garbage. it is useless = do not waste your money. yvette

1st you need to buy a 2014 mah Jongg card from the haddasah mah Jongg league . You will need to play with 4 players like regular tile based mah Jong .

The rules are the same but the number combinations are quite different from Mah Jongg. The thing that makes this nice is that it is in large print. However, if you're planning on playing with Mah Jongg enthusiasts, I'd opt for traditional Maj Jongg.

There are actually two different versions of "American MaJongg. The most well known version is the National League version, which uses specific hands listed on the card that you must purchase each year from the National Majongg League. The other, lesser known version is the Wright Patt version which is similar in play and uses a book of hands which must be purchased from the Wright Patt Officers Spouses Mah Jongg group. Their book of hands is good for many years. It is primarily played by Military people or on Military bases.

You Need a National Mah Jongg League card can order from NMJLalso. 3-4 players is fine 2 no so good. 1 draw stack and either a stack for discard or leave hem turned up as you discard. Be sure and check your cards you may need to use both seasons and flowers to have total of 8, I only had four of each in my pack of cards. Hopefully they sent extra jokes and some blank cards also. I find the cards ae good for practice when not playing. I really do not like to play You may like a Mah Jongg travel set better. Good Luck

Actually, I believe it does not. It's been almost a year since we played, but I remember having to take the money from our old 80's version. Also, check the errata documents. The starting IPC values on the cards for two countries (I think UK and Japan) do not match the actual values. There are some misprints.

Have not looked at all the cards & it has been awhile since I played the To Go version but want to say that yes the cards are different. I cannot say with 100% certainty because I did not line the games up next to each other, there may be duplicates I have not seen on plays yet.

I can't really say if they're the same, I'm sure after so many years they update their game to stay relevant since some of the keywords are famous people. The cards are not actually questions though. There are four different colors to differentiate which word has been used so you can use the same card four different times. On those colors there is just one word for the player to describe and a few words below the keyword that you are not allowed to use to describe the keyword.

Hi Maria, Sorry it took me so long to answer. I'm on holiday in Australia. No, as far as I know, none of them come with the game card. They change every year. I live in Toronto and you can buy them here at the Jewish book stores. Also, you can join The American Majong League (?) or Association (?) and buy through them.

Naw it's cool! Its a regular size card, not a jumbo. Yes you can use this card for the tournament, I've seen one video on youtube that 2 players had Mewtwo ex card.

Bridge baron 20 does. Unfortunately it plays duplicate instead of contract Hoyle card games has a contract version. Not very high quality but only one I know of.

No--you use the expansion pack instead of cards that come with the game. There are more of them, they are larger and easier to read and manage--same with the train cards. Hope you have as much fun with it as we have.

I'm not sure, the version I have played was purchased at a game store. I would assume that if it is a new copy that it probably is. Most of the time the revised editions are only different in that they clear up any hard to understand rules and put new pictures on the cards. This game did not have any issues with the rules that I saw, it was just horribly boring. I would stay away unless you like games that are all chance and nothing but rolling dice all night because that is all you do in this game.

Nope - none of the lvl x or ex cards. Only run of the mill common cards. Read the descriptions carefully.

Every year there are new hands to play. Current hands and rules are dated 2014. Obtain at www.nationalmahjonggleague.org

When I bought this, it was all in English (no chinese, or any other language), but I'm not sure if it's the same one as it is now...The stack of cards is about an inch and a half thick, and there are plenty of megabucks (we've played many times and never run out) As far as I remember, yes there are eight control groups. Hope it helps :)

Not an expert, but I read the hex size and game pieces remain the same. Only the rules changed a bit with the 5th edition.
