Keeping score

You play. It does the math.

Each table has a scorekeeper. After every game they answer a few quick questions.

Step 1

Who called Mahj?

Tap the winner’s name. If the tiles ran out and nobody won, tap Wall game.

Step 2

What was it worth?

25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 or 75, or tap Other and type any value up to 9,999.

Step 3

How?

Self-picked, or tap who threw the winning tile.

Step 4

Jokerless?

Yes or No. Then check everyone’s points and tap Save game.

Then the app works out the points

Here’s a hand worth 25, at a table of four:

+100Thrown. Whoever threw it gives 50, and the other two give 25 each.

+150Self-picked. Everyone else gives 50.

×2Jokerless. It all doubles: +200 thrown, +300 self-picked.

0Wall game. Nobody’s points change.

After every game the deal passes to the right, so the app always knows who’s East. If anyone is waiting for a seat, East steps out and the first in line sits down. House rules like a pie, or switching tables every round, are settings your organizer can turn on. It’s points only: no money changes hands in the app.

What it does

Everything the score sheet did, and more

Plan the Mahj days

Set the schedule once. Everyone taps I’m in or Can’t make it, and the waitlist fills any open seat in order.

Who’s hosting, all season

See who’s hosting each Mahj day, and where, so nobody has to ask.

Subs and reminders

Short a player? Text your subs from the app. Reminders on your phone before each Mahj day, at the times your organizer sets (turn them on in Me).

East and the waiting line

The app knows who’s East every game and, when there are more players than seats, who’s up next.

Scoreboard and standings

Follow every table live. Then see today’s winners, the season standings, the winners log and your brag card.

Big, easy text

Large type and big buttons, with an extra-large setting too.

Take a look first

Not sure yet? In the app, tap Take a look first. You get your own private sample group with pretend players, a few Mahj days already played and a practice Mahj day, so you can try everything, scoreboard and standings too, before you invite anyone.

Price

Free to play and keep score. Stats if you want them.

US prices shown. In Canada, the store shows your price. Mahjongg Circle has its own subscription: it doesn’t include Bunco Circle, and a Bunco Circle subscription doesn’t include Mahjongg Circle. Prices are per person: each player who wants the scoreboard and stats subscribes for themselves. Subscriptions are handled by Apple on iPhone and Google Play on Android, and can be cancelled anytime.
