A stepping-stone tile game that teaches pattern recognition and strategic thinking — so that by the time a child sits down at the full Otto set, the game already feels natural.
Ages 4 – 12 · Three LevelsLittle Table is not a children's version of American Mahjong. It's a standalone game built from scratch for young players — using familiar suits, simple rules, and three escalating levels of play — that naturally builds the cognitive foundations Mahjong requires.
Kids who grow up with Little Table arrive at the full Otto set already thinking in suits, sets, and sequences. The transition isn't a learning curve. It's a natural next step.
Little Table grows with your child. The same set of tiles powers all three levels — complexity comes from the hands and rules, not new components.
Pure matching. Draw one tile, discard one tile. First to collect three matching sets wins. No calling, no strategy — just the satisfying click of tiles coming together.
14-tile hands. Pungs, sequences, and pairs. Calling introduced for completing sets. Optional Charleston to pass tiles — the first taste of real strategy.
Full hand selection from the Little Table card. Complete calling rules. The Charleston as standard. Wildcard tiles that map directly to Joker logic. One step from the adult game.
Little Table uses four suits chosen for immediate visual recognition — bold, geometric, and distinct enough to read across the table at a glance. Each suit prepares young players for the numbered suit logic of American Mahjong.
Little Table is the beginning. When a child levels out of The Strategist, they're not learning Mahjong — they already know how to think in it. The Otto set is the natural next step, and by then, the game feels like coming home.
Little Table and Otto are designed in the same visual language — same material honesty, same design restraint — so the transition between them feels like growing up, not starting over.
