I’m so glad. It’s a strategy game that runs with luck. I made many mistakes when starting and was very frustrated. Keep plugging at it! If I can learn it, anyone can!
Such a good lesson! I had my first lesson yesterday with a group, so I’m a true beginner. Your explanation of the card is excellent! And again, love your quiz to see if we’re following along.
This is a major help in deciphering the card. I can't seem to find a group to play with locally so I've been playing on the Mahjong 4 Friends app using the NMJL rules and now I understand how to use the card a LOT better. I've enjoyed your whole series too. Many thanks.
Awesome video...I'm a relative beginner but I understand the game and do alright, I'm just not ready for Vegas if you know what I mean...lol. but our group is growing and they place me with the very brand new people to assist and the card is the hardest thing for me to explain to others and this video is so perfect and thank you.
You have to order a card. I am not allowed to show you a card because it’s copyrighted so for this video I made up the hands to look like ones that would be on the card. I am in the process of creating a fake card to try to teach players how to use the card. you would know which tiles to use because you would have a card in front of you.
Another great lesson! Breaking down the card is VERY helpful. Question: I’m still unsure on the blue color. I’m following green and red, but what would be a good tip or definition for blue? Thanks!
OK, so the colors on the cards have nothing to do with choosing the suits. Meaning just because it’s printed in blue does not mean it has to be dots. The colors on the card on each hand designate how many suits you are supposed to use. So for example, if a hand is all in blue on the card, all of the tiles have to be the same suit. If the printed hand is blue and green, then you have to use two different suits, but it doesn’t matter which two.
Is there just a generic set of score options out there that can be used rather than having to follow this arbitrary set that organization comes out with every year? IE for casual gamers just have 4 sets and a pair or something?
@@mafisk67 not that I am aware of. The majority of the hands are 25, as in $.25. The singles and pears category is always $.50 and there’s a couple thrown in there that are $.75 or $.30. It depends on the difficulty of the hand. However, where I play we don’t play for money at all so you don’t have to play for points. You can just play for fun. You are supposed to have a Mahjong card you can’t just make up hands.

Best video out of so many that didn’t leave me hopeless

I always like a little “check” and exercises so learning is facilitated.
@@agould105 Excited to watch your next lesson. The first 4 were fantastic!

@@GlennsCubingCorner Thank you I’m glad the videos helped. There’s a Facebook group where you can say your location to find groups to join.
Thank you so much! I had no idea there was much to learn but the way you explain this I know I will be doing well with lots of practice. 👍
You’ll do just fine. It takes several times playing the game, reading books and watching videos but you’ll find it becomes easier with practice.
This is a great video. oh man thank you so much.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It is a fun game.
Excellent series! The explanations are clear and easy to understand.
Thank you very much for video.😘
@@yoginiya5246 you are very welcome

@@creecher44 I agree I think reading the card is a real challenge. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful
Many thanks!
How does one know in the 13579 hand. That it is 4 - 1's; 4 - 3's; 2 - 5's; 2 - 7's and 2 - 9's ?

@ very helpful, thank you! (By the way, has anyone ever told you your voice sounds just like the actress Kathy Bates?) :)
Oh my Gosh no. No one has said that. I’m very careful about how I talk. I’m working on sounding more interesting.
@@agould105 As a brand/marketing VP, your voice is fantastic! Kathy Bates is a compliment. I love her voice. You do a great job.
@ thank you so much!

@ Thank you! I thought there might be a more generic version of the game where you just had to have 4 pong and a pair or something. Appreciate it
@ Sadly no.
