About this game

TileBuddy is the Hong Kong mahjong scoring app for real-table play. Track every win, scan tiles with AI, and look up faan values in seconds. Whether you're settling scores at the table or learning the game, TileBuddy makes Hong Kong mahjong scoring simple.

REFEREE MODE
Track scores during your game without doing the math. Enter player names, set your stakes and scoring table, and TileBuddy handles every payment calculation. Self-pick wins, discard wins, configurable payment styles (standard or "discarder pays all"). Wind rotation and dealer tracking happen automatically. Undo any round with one tap.

WINS-ONLY MODE
Don't want to track points? Switch to wins-only mode and just count who won each round. Per-player W counters on every seat. Discard wins skip the faan step entirely. Built for casual nights where you only care about the W.

AI HAND SCANNER
Point your camera at your winning hand and let AI identify the tiles. The Hand Scanner recognizes all 42 unique Hong Kong Mahjong tile types: Bamboo, Dots, Characters, Winds, Dragons, Flowers, and Seasons. Powered by Google Gemini Vision. Faan value calculated automatically from scanned tiles.

MAHJONG WIKI
A complete reference for Hong Kong Mahjong. Browse 40+ scoring hands organized by category with example tile layouts. Filter by Classic, New 6, or New 18 style rules. Includes a beginner-friendly rules walkthrough and a Cantonese vocabulary guide with phonetic pronunciations.
