2026 National Mah Jongg League Card

The National Mah Jongg League releases a brand new card every year — and the 2026 card is here. Every American Mah Jongg player needs the current year's card because the official winning hand combinations change completely with each new edition. If you're playing with last year's card, you're playing the wrong hands.

Available Sizes

• Standard Card — 5 1/8" x 4" — $18.00 — compact size fits easily in a tile bag or purse

Why You Need the 2026 Card

• Hand combinations change every year so that players must use the current card to know which hands are valid for the 2026 game season
• Official NMJL publication so that you're playing with the same card as clubs and tournaments across the country
• Two size options so that you can choose the format that works best for your eyesight and playing setup
• Essential for every player at the table so that all four players can reference their own card simultaneously during play

Frequently Asked Questions
