A NEW Dragon has joined Siamese Mah Jongg®!

Beginning in 2027, the Black Dragon is officially incorporated into Siamese Mah Jongg® play.

The Black Dragon is the matching Dragon for Dots. With the addition of the Black Dragon, the White Dragon (Soap) is no longer used as the matching Dragon for Dots and is used strictly as 0/O when called for on the Siamese Mah Jongg® card.

WHAT CHANGES?

Add 4 Black Dragons to your Mah Jongg set.
A standard 152-tile set becomes a 156-tile set for Siamese Mah Jongg® play.

Black Dragon = Matching Dragon for Dots
The Black Dragon is now used whenever the matching Dragon for Dots is required.

Soap/White Dragon = 0/O
Soap is used strictly to represent the 0/O when called for on the card.

WANT TO USE BLACK DRAGONS IN YOUR REGULAR NMJL GAMES, TOO?

You can! While Black Dragons are not an official NMJL rule, they can be incorporated into your regular NMJL games as an optional way to play.

Adding Black Dragons gives each Dragon its own unique job.

Red Dragon = Matching Dragon for Craks
Green Dragon = Matching Dragon for Bams
Black Dragon = Matching Dragon for Dots

Soap/White Dragon = Used strictly as 0/O.
