The Grand Seal of The Mahjong Trust — a four winds compass rose ringed by the words Four Traditions, One Table

The Mahjong Trust

Four Traditions · One Table

Fine mahjong goods, honest guidance, and printable provisions for the tables of Singapore, Canton, Tokyo, and America. Established 2026.

The Moat

One game. Four great tables.

Most mahjong shops serve one tradition and call it the game. But hardly anyone sits at only one table anymore — you get invited, you sit down, and the rules are not the rules you learned last time. This house was built by an American girl raised in Singapore, who has been crossing between those tables ever since. Whichever one you sit at, The Mahjong Trust deals you in.

新加坡

Singapore

Animal tiles, bonus pairs, and stick scoring — the game I grew up hearing called across a courtyard, and the one almost nobody covers in English.

廣東

Canton

The classical root. Faan counting, fast hands, and the customs every other tradition descends from.

東京

Tokyo

Riichi — the deepest scoring system in the game. Yaku, furiten, and the discipline of the closed hand.

美國

America

Jokers, the Charleston, and the annual card. The largest table in the country, played by the League's rules.

The Ledger

Printable provisions

Reference charts, score sheets, and party papers, engraved in the manner of an old trading house. Print tonight, play tonight.

Our Story

A childhood beside the table

An American girl, sixteen years in Singapore, falling asleep to the sound of tiles. I have played plenty since and hardly ever by the same rules twice. This trading house exists because nobody was serving the players who cross between the traditions — and because I kept needing the charts myself.
