KEEP THE CHARLESTON GOING One of the most common mistakes newer players make is stopping the Charleston too early, and it can really hold you back. Unless you absolutely know which hand youâre playing and you donât have three tiles to pass, keep that Charleston moving with confidence and momentum! Canât decide between two hands? Go ahead and pick one! It might not end up being the perfect choice, but if it is, youâve just boosted your chances of winning in a big way. Receiving one more tile is another step closer to completing your hand and
calling out that exciting word: âMahjong!â
ADVANCED STRATEGY
If the player across from you stops the Charleston, itâs often smart to consider declining the courtesy pass. Hereâs why: experienced players usually stop the Charleston because theyâre already very close to a winning hand, often just one or two tiles away. By declining the courtesy pass, you take away one more chance for them to strengthen an already powerful position. As always, every game is different, but this simple, strategic choice can sometimes be the difference between your opponent winning or you keeping them just one tile short! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
