The Art of the Win: The Charleston
Release the Extremes: Prioritize passing 1s, 8s, and 9s. On this year’s card, these tiles lack the versatility required for most winning patterns.
Discard Isolated Winds: A lone Wind tile is a burden, not an asset. If it hasn’t found a partner early, let it go.
Cherish Your Pairs: A pair is the rarest gift of the deal. While sequences can be built, a match must be found; never break a pair prematurely.
Protect the Specials: Treat Dragons and Flowers with care. They serve as the foundational “glue” for the 2025 card’s most elegant hands.
A Letter From the Founder
Welcome to your local American Mahjong Community!
The Ann Arbor Mahjong Club was born from a simple desire: to bring the timeless elegance of American Mahjong to our local community. My goal is to provide more than just lessons; I want to offer an elegant escape where you can master a new skill, disconnect from the digital world, and reconnect with neighbors over a beautiful set of tiles. I started this club to share the joy of a game that truly lasts a lifetime, and I am so glad you’ve found a seat at our table.
Sincerely,
julie morris (table name: blue dragon)
