The Fourth Seat - Mahjong

The Fourth Seat is where American mahjong players find their table.

BUILT WITH YOUR PRIVACY IN MIND
Your precise location is never shared with other players. Others only ever
see an approximate distance, never your address or coordinates. Your
contacts are matched privately and never stored on our servers. You choose
who can see each table you host, and you can block or report anyone. You
can delete your account and all your data at any time from Settings.

Please note: The Fourth Seat helps you organise and join mahjong games in real life. It is not a mahjong game you play on your phone.
