What it is
Eight Bam is a set of mobile American Mahjong practice apps built around the NMJL card. You can play a hand through with bots off, play against bots, run a shared Daily Challenge, match tiles to the card, or guess an opponent’s hand from exposures. It is practice software, not a live 4-player social table.
Who it’s for
American (NMJL) players who want solo or bot practice on a phone or tablet — including the current 2026 card.
Why it’s listed
A current-card practice tool is useful next to the League itself, and it is not another tile shop or another live-table product.
- On 2026-08-23 the homepage title was “American Mahjong Practice App - Learn NMJL 2026 Card.” The page calls the apps “designed for mobile” and “the original American Mahjong app,” and says they are on iOS and Android.
- Play modes described on-site: finish every hand with bots off; compete against bots; Daily Challenge (the same tiles for every player, best score wins). Separate tools: enter tiles to list every matching NMJL hand, including overlapping alternates; guess an opponent’s hand from exposed tiles.
- Layout claim on the homepage: tiles are large, the card sits under the hand, and common moves are one tap away. The player’s guide is at https://amppg.eightbam.com.
- Daily Challenge rules on the homepage: one shared random deal each day; unlimited retries; best score kept; score is based on tiles left in the wall (fewer remaining, higher score); submit, then a leaderboard.
- Android install page (https://eightbam.com/android/): 2026 hands via $14.99 one-time (does not auto-renew) or $2.99/month (includes new hands each year), then switch the 2026 radio button in Settings / Stats. Same Google account restores the purchase on a second device. Also available on Windows via Google Play Games.
- Apple install page (https://eightbam.com/apple/): 2026 hands via $17.99 one-time (does not auto-renew) or $3.99/month, then the 2026 year tab in Settings. Same Apple ID restores the purchase. On Apple-silicon Macs (M1 or later) the app runs from the App Store.
Prices above are what the official install pages showed on the check date. iOS and Android prices differ. They can change.
