👋 Meet Sara

Sara is sitting down for a hand of American Mahjong. She's done all the lessons in this app, she has her card in front of her, and the wall is built. East is about to break the wall.

We're going to follow her through one complete hand — from the deal all the way to Mahjong! At each decision point we'll pause and show you what she's thinking and why.
