FOUNDERS STORY

Two friends. One table.

A shared belief that confidence can be taught.


MahjTrainer™ exists because two lifelong friends believed there was a better way to learn American Mahjong — one built on guidance, not guesswork.

Welcome at the table- even before you’re confident.

How It Started

Amanda found the game first. She came home from a game night lit up in a way Jeannie hadn't seen in years, and within weeks, she'd pulled Jeannie into her first game. What followed wasn't instant mastery — it was confusion, second-guessing, and the particular kind of frustration that comes from almost understanding something.

That frustration became the spark. Jeannie and Amanda have been friends for more than 35 years — long before Mahjong, long before MahjTrainer™. The kind of friendship where you can say "this should be easier than it is" and trust the other person to actually do something about it.

So they did.
