NMJL Strategy Theory Marathon 20240624

Mahjong or Mah jongg is the Chinese tile game that requires critical thinking, situational awareness, and social intelligence. Strategy theory for American style using National Mah Jongg League rules is very different from all other versions because of the categories and components of valid hands published by the league. Watch this video and consider incorporating proclivities and findings shared to better your game, especially in a competitive setting!

Why did you let three green dragos go?

[@MAHJLIFE]

38:45 There was potential for Quint #4 using the pung of green dragons, but it was a long shot because I had only one flower, one joker, and little multiples with number tiles. So, I gave up the pung of green dragons because I was focused on a hand with no gaps and two pair, Consective Run #3-1.

I hope this isn’t a too~silly question. When making exposures, Mah Jongg Time automatically turns one of the exposed tiles, and in different places within the exposure, from one exposure to the next. Can you please clarify what is happening here? Thank you!

[@MAHJLIFE]

At Mahjong Time, the tile that is claimed for an exposure is sideways to indicate which player discarded the tile. If the tile was discarded by the player on the right, the tile on the right is sideways. If the tile was discarded by the player on the left, the tile on the left is sideways. If the tile was discarded by the player on the across, the tile on the middle is sideways.

@@MAHJLIFE Thank you!

What is a CHOW hand? Also, your MahJong did not match anything I could find in the 2024 card.

[@MAHJLIFE]

A chow hand is one with a block of three single consecutive tiles. On the 2024 NMJL card it's Consecutive Run #6.

[@MAHJLIFE]

12:15 Consecutive Run #6

[@lindap361]

What did that face mean. Stop Charleston?
