I have produced three sets of Mah Jong cards using MS Publisher 2000 and a number of Windows fonts: a freely available Windows TrueType font called Mah Jong (134 Kb) and a commercial font called Canton.

Adobe Reader required All card downloads are in Portable Document Format (PDF) 1.3, which requires Adobe (Acrobat) Reader 4.x or above to view and print. Adobe Reader is FREE. Visit Adobe's website for more information and to download it (c. 8 Mb).

There are now three designs available. All were updated on Friday 21 March 2003.

Printing Instructions

Full explanations and instructions on printing are included on the first page of each file.

Best results are produced if printed using a colour laserjet or inkjet printer printing onto card.

For more on creating PDF files see my PDF page.

Card Backing

Depending on the quality and thickness of card you use to print these cards onto, you might find that the image on the front of each Mah Jong card might show through.

You may need to either (a) cover the back of the card with something (sticky-backed plastic, another colour of card, etc.), or (b) print another regular pattern on the rear of each sheet.

You may use the pattern provided on the Mah Jong card backing sheet (2 KB).

Cards or kards The American Mah Jongg Association and the National Mah Jongg League each year produce a new list of limit hands for their members. These lists are known as 'cards', so in order to distinguish between these lists and Mah Jong playing cards the latter are often referred to as 'kards'. However, I am British and so refer to these 'kards' as 'cards'. Confused? Don't be.
