What it is

Mahjong 4 Friends is a first-party real 4-player mahjong app and web client for home / online tables: invite friends, fill empty seats with AI, or join public rooms. It is not solitaire tile-matching. Official store copy labels both American Mahjong (NMJL / Marvelous cards, Charleston, jokers) and Chinese / Hong Kong / British 13-tile variants.

Who it’s for

Players who want a live or bot-backed 4-player table on phone, tablet, or browser — especially American NMJL-card groups practicing between in-person nights, or friends who switch to Chinese-family rules at the same table. Not for single-player Shanghai / tile-matching puzzles.

Why it’s listed

Plaza needs an unused American-capable 4-player home/online client that is not already on disk (not Mahj Parlour, Four Winds, Eight Bam, I Love Mahj, Mahjong Time, Mahjong Soul, or Riichi City).

FAQ

Q: Is this solitaire / tile-matching?
A: No. Store and site copy describe real American or Chinese-style 4-player tables with friends, AI opponents, or public rooms — not Shanghai-style pair matching.

Q: Which American card years does it support?
A: App Store and Play copy on 2026-09-07 name NMJL 2026 (and Marvelous) for American play, with Charleston and jokers. Confirm the in-app card picker for the exact year options on your device.

Q: Can I play Chinese mahjong as well as American?
A: Yes. The App Store subtitle and feature list explicitly include Chinese, Hong Kong, and British 13-tile variants alongside American NMJL / Marvelous play. Switch styles in the app settings / table rules.
