Learn Mahjong from zero with curriculum-style guides for Chinese Mahjong, Hong Kong, Riichi, MCR, Filipino, and Taiwanese rulesets, plus practice paths.
tsumo is not a generic single-ruleset Mahjong clone. The site keeps separate teaching paths, validation rules, puzzle surfaces, and playable browser modes for six rulesets so a player can see exactly which rule caused a win, claim, or scoring decision to succeed or fail.
Best first ruleset for learning the basic draw, discard, call, and 4 sets plus 1 pair hand shape without a heavy value gate.
Adds flowers and a 3 non-flower faan requirement, so players learn why complete shape and scoring value are separate checks.
Focuses on yaku, dora, furiten, riichi timing, and defense, making it the most tactical ruleset for push-fold practice.
Uses pattern combinations and an 8 non-flower point gate, which rewards planning a main scoring route and a backup route.
Uses 17-tile hands, flower-replaced honors, Secret Kong side payments, and Todas or Bunot multiplier payouts.
Uses 16-tile flow, meldable honors, additive tai scoring, and a 1 tai minimum after the winning draw or claim.

This static route summary is written to be useful before the interactive client loads: it states the question, the practice path, and the next action a Mahjong learner can take on the same site.
