✨ What Is Mahjong Together?

Mahjong Together is the first kid-friendly, family-ready Mahjong set designed to be enjoyed by ages 3 to 103. It introduces children to a beloved cultural tradition through leveled play—starting with simple tile games for beginners and gradually building up to full classic Mahjong.

With beautifully crafted wooden tiles and a keepsake suitcase box, this set is made to last for generations.

🎲 How It Works

Mahjong Together uses a leveled learning system:

Level 1: Simple matching and memory games for young children
Level 2–4: Introduces set-building and strategy with progressively more tiles
Level 5: Full gameplay, bridging into traditional Mahjong rules

Each level builds on the last, so children and beginners grow with the game—while families enjoy play that works for everyone.

🧠 The Learning Benefits of Mahjong

Mahjong has traditionally been seen as too complex for children—but in reality, it’s one of the best games for building focus, strategy, and cultural awareness. We discovered this firsthand while playing with our 3- and 6-year-olds, Bo and Mei.

By simplifying the rules and adapting the tile designs, we found that Mahjong is a powerful learning tool. Through play, children practice skills that support both cognitive growth and cultural appreciation:

Memory & Focus – Matching, recalling, and sequencing tiles help strengthen concentration and memory skills.
Math Readiness – Counting tiles, recognizing sets, and building combinations give kids a playful foundation for math concepts.
Social-Emotional Growth – Turn-taking, teamwork, and celebrating wins (and losses!) teach resilience, patience, and empathy.
Critical Thinking & Strategy – Children learn to recognize patterns, plan moves ahead, and adapt their strategy as the game unfolds.
Cultural Learning – Every tile and rule is a chance to talk about the meaning and history of Mahjong, sparking curiosity and pride in cultural heritage.

By introducing Mahjong through leveled play, children build confidence step by step—gaining not only skills, but also a sense of belonging in a tradition that spans generations

💛 Why We Created Mahjong Together

At Bo & Mei, we believe play is one of the most meaningful ways to pass down culture. Mahjong has been a tradition shared across generations for over a century—but for many families, it has felt too complex for children to join in.

For me, this is deeply personal. I never learned Mahjong as a child, but later in life it became a bridge between me and my mother-in-law. We don’t share a language, yet we found a shared rhythm in the tiles. Before long, my daughters, Bo and Mei, grew curious. So we adapted the rules, making them simple enough for even a 3-year-old to join in—and feel proud doing it.

That experience inspired Mahjong Together. Created to nurture cultural appreciation and spark intergenerational play, it’s designed to make learning and playing classic Mahjong joyful and meaningful for kids and adults alike. With leveled play, grandparents, parents, and children can all sit around the same table, learning, laughing, and carrying on a tradition—together.

✨ A Game Night Tradition in the Making

Whether you grew up playing Mahjong or are discovering it for the first time, Mahjong Together makes it easy to start a new tradition in your home. It’s more than a game—it’s a legacy you can share, piece by piece, tile by tile.
