Let’s get fast at picking a hand in mahjong! In this video, I’m doing my favorite practice for picking hands—a mock Charleston. Grab your tiles and your card and deal yourself 13 tiles, then practice passes and try to find a section then hand of the card that works for your tiles.

So many mahjong players struggle with choosing a hand to play during the game. Here is a great way to practice picking your mahjong line so you can be better, faster, and more confident during your next mahjong game. Here’s how: Grab your bag of mahjong tiles, and just leave them in the bag. This is your draw bag—you don’t need to set anything else up, though a rack can be handy for keeping tiles organized while you practice. 1. Draw 13 tiles at random from your bag.

Full width version is up on our youtube channel if you prefer! One of the most common questions I get about how to play mahjong is how to choose a line (or hand) on the NMJL card. If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at the card after the deal, this video is for you. My approach is simple: don’t commit to a line right away.

How to Choose a Hand in Mahjong: Here is a way to practice choosing a mahjong line/hand from home. 1. Take your bag of tiles and deal yourself 13 out of the bag. 2. Organize your tiles by suit and in number order. 3. Start looking for patterns in the tiles you were “dealt.” 4. Select a SECTION of the card, not a hand! Choose the section that matches with the patterns you’re seeing in the tiles you have. 5. Collect tiles towards that SECTION as you do a pretend Charleston, passing three tiles at

Mahjong Tips for the Charleston: What should you keep? What should you pass? And when should you stop the Charleston? (Your girl is too chatty, so I had to break this into 3 parts.
