What is the NMJL Card?

The NMJL Card is the annual card the National Mah Jongg League puts out with new winning combinations for American mahjong winning hands. Each year's card changes with new combinations and patterns, so an analysis is helpful to get players off and winning on the new card.

Why is the new 2026 card coming out just now in April?

The National Mah Jongg League fiscal year is April to April, so the card still provides 12 months of play time in that timeline. Players can order the 2026 card starting in January prior to the cards release and shipment in April.
