Mahjong 102: Mahjong Made Simpler - The Next Step

$11.99

The two-page next step for the player who has outgrown her starter homes.

You can build 2468 #1 with your eyes closed. Then the deal hands you a rack that fits none of your starter neighborhoods. The card still has 47 lines you've never read.

Read the parentheses. They're how those other lines open up, and this sheet shows you how to read them. It also covers the next layer of the Charleston and the table habits that come after it.

What this is

The follow-up to the 101 Starter Sheet. It's a two-page reference for the player who knows the basics and is ready for the rest of the card.

What's inside

  • Beyond the Starter Homes. How to read the parentheses so one consecutive-run line becomes 54 ways to play it, plus a four-step check for spotting a line worth trying.

  • Three Zones. Your rack gets a yellow middle for tiles you're not ready to let go, and a rule that keeps it from becoming a parking lot.

  • The Charleston with Finesse. The blind pass and the courtesy pass, and how your green zone tells you when to stop the second Charleston.

  • At the Table. Why you rack every tile you pick, how to read the exposures on other racks, and what it means when she throws a Joker.

  • Pivot or Abandon. When to commit to a house, wall by wall, and the four safest throws once a hand can't be finished.

  • Where This Goes Next. A "My one thing this week" box, so you take one habit to the table instead of five.

Who this is for

This is for the player who has spent a while in the starter homes and is ready to move out. It also fits the returning beginner who played years ago and remembers more than she thinks.

If green zone and red zone are new to you, start with the 101 Starter Sheet. This sheet builds directly on it.

The details

One PDF, two pages, US letter landscape. Print it front and back and the whole thing fits on one sheet. You'll need the current NMJL card and a set of tiles.

Digital delivery only. Because this is a downloadable product, all sales are final. No returns or refunds.

One more thing

Hot tip from Gaia: fill in the "My one thing this week" box before you play. One habit at a time is how this becomes yours.
