What it is

Mahjong Place is a free, first-party browser game for real four-player table mahjong: host a private table, share an invite link, or fill empty seats with bots. Built-in rulesets include Taiwan 16-tile, Hong Kong 13-tile, Chinese Official (MCR), and Sichuan variants. It is social table software — not mahjong-solitaire tile matching, and not an American NMJL client.

Who it’s for

Home players who want a no-signup browser table across Chinese/Taiwanese rule families (private room or bots), without using American browser/mobile clients already on disk (OpenMahj, American Mahjong app, I Love Mahj, Mahjongg4Fun, Mahjong 4 Friends, Playboard, HeyMahjong, Table Mahjong) or other Chinese/Riichi servers already listed (PlayMahjong.io, Mahjong Soul, Tenhou, Riichi City, Mahjong Spot, RiichiMahjong.com).

Why it’s listed

The plaza needs an unused multiplayer home-game slot with a real first-party URL and multi-ruleset Chinese/Taiwanese positioning — rule-family diversity vs Monday’s OpenMahj (American), Tuesday’s Mahjong Spot (Taiwanese 16 / HK 13), Wednesday’s American Mahjong app, Thursday’s Table Mahjong (HK/Cantonese), and Friday’s RiichiMahjong.com (Japanese Riichi).
