American Mah Jongg Lesson Strategy How to Pick a Hand 3 Ways (mock card)

Mah jongg is the 4-player Chinese tile game that took America by storm in the 1920s. One of the most challenging skills to master as an American Mah Jongg player is picking a hand. In the previous video, we did demonstrate how to identify the strength of a dealt hand which is just the beginning. Now we need to prepare for the Charleston. The purpose of the Charleston is to improve your starting position going into the pick and discard phase of the game. In this video, we’ll do Charleston modeling to demonstrate how to pick a hand three ways.
