# Mahjong Market — Full Site Reference

Mahjong Market is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer and wholesale supplier of American mahjong
products. This file is a fuller, machine-readable reference for AI systems. We sell factory-direct
with OEM/ODM support; prices are quoted per inquiry, not listed.

## What is American mahjong?
American mahjong is a four-player tile game played with 166 tiles (including 8 jokers
and flower/season tiles), using racks, pushers, and a carrying case. Play follows an
annual National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) card that lists the legal winning hands. Unlike
Chinese mahjong, American tiles are labeled in English with letters and numbers, and the
game emphasizes the annual card of hands and "charity" (table stakes) play.
