About this app
Mahjong Yau is Cantonese mahjong built for playing with people you actually know. ■ Three ways to sit down • In the same room Two phones with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on. They do not need to be on the same network, and neither needs mobile data. On a trip, on a long coach ride, on a plane, waiting at the gate: take the phone out and the table is open. • In different places Open a table and you get a table code. Send the link on WhatsApp and your friend taps it to sit straight down, with no code to type in. Wherever they are, they can join. • Nobody free right now Quick match seats you with other players immediately, and the computer fills any empty seats so there is no waiting. Or play the computer on its own: start whenever, leave whenever. ■ Two ways to play, chosen when the table opens • Pao Ma Zai, horseracing style: no chow, no flowers, a self-draw turns the horse. Fast, and a hand is over quickly. • Cing Zoeng, Cantonese style: chow and flowers, faan counted on a win. Chicken hand, all sequences, all triplets, mixed one suit, pure one suit, thirteen orphans. Faan and the limit are worked out in full, in one place. ■ A real Cantonese table • Cantonese throughout: sik wu, zi mo, soeng giu, zit wu, ceot cung. Reading the table should not be the hard part. • Sideways or upright: landscape gives the table room, portrait fits one hand. • Your tiles, your order: two rows of seven, or the tile you just drew on a row of its own. • Discarding and drawing buzz. Turn it off in settings if you would rather they did not. ■ What it costs • Free against the computer. Free to join a friend's table. Free to quick match. Sixteen free hands a day, one free table a day to open yourself, and you pick how hard the computer plays whether you subscribe or not. • Out of hands? Watch an ad and swap it for a few more. • Subscribe and you get: open as many tables as you like, choose the stakes, hints, the advanced settings, unlimited hands, and no ads. • No coins, no gems, no spinning wheel. Play when you want to play. You open the table. Your friends do not have to buy anything to sit down. ■ Subscription Mahjong Yau Plus comes monthly or yearly, and the price is shown in the app. It renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your App Store account settings.

Latest release
What’s New
Mostly fixes to things that got in the way of a hand. . Tapping Leave and then watching the ad left the whole app frozen. Fixed. . Chow, pung and kong buttons now draw the actual tile that was discarded, so you can see at a glance what you are taking. . The discard pile is wider: thirteen tiles fit on a row before it shrinks, which makes it much easier to read who threw what. . The row of opponent names is narrower, giving the table back some room.
