Mah jongg is the 4-player Chinese tile game that took America by storm in the 1920s. One of the things that differentiate American mah jongg from Asian versions, is the Charleston. This is where players pass unwanted tiles up to 7 times. The intention is to expedite building a hand. In this video, I demonstrate an exercise that can help you gain confidence with decision making during the Charleston.

Welcome to the game!!!

@jvy1111 3 месяца назад

New to play and enjoying the videos. Very helpful. One thing I was confused on the card was when the numbers have to match the tiles exactly as show on the card and when they can be different. Thank you.

@MAHJLIFE 3 месяца назад

Welcome to the game! Flexibility and limitations are provided in the text in the parentheses for each hand :)

@kidsdeservethebest Год назад

Is there an order to watching all of your videos? I am enjoying what I have watched so far, but I don’t to miss something. Thank you…..

@MAHJLIFE Год назад

The is an order for the lesson fundamentals. The list is the video description. Click "SHOW MORE" on the left side under the channel name if you are on a laptop or desktop PC. If you are using a mobile device, tap "more" on the left side under the video title.

You have a lot of content! Would you ever do videos on riichi mahjong as well?

@MAHJLIFE 5 лет назад

I am learning how to play Riichi so I have videos on that style too! Look for videos with red, white, and black thumbnails. This can get you started: ru-vid.com/group/PLLk097vMqukZyzR-RY-gV8XV4S1lGFwNlj and these: Random Pulls ru-vid.com/group/PLLk097vMqukamU-lN9vUwp6BHu1V1k9qS Solitaire ru-vid.com/group/PLLk097vMqukbr87kbdJrwzniDXDWkr5OA Livestreams ru-vid.com/group/PLLk097vMqukYx5HByu5Ibbw8sDfgi0R9k

Love these videos, Michele - you are a great teacher, so says a Theater/Music teacher for 30yrs. ;) Question: can you build 3 or 4 Norths, or Souths, etc?

@MAHJLIFE Год назад

Thanks so much for the compliment! The number of tiles in a block depends on the hand being played per the card for a given year. Since 1966, the blocks can be single, pair (2 of a kind), pung (3 of a kind), kong (4 of a kind), quint (5 of a kind).

@carolhubbard672 Год назад

I agree with Carolyn -- how can I watch these in order?

@kellimaddox2488 Год назад

I am just learning and I have a "National Mah Jongg League" 2022 card I am learning from. In your second video you said that the categories stay the same from year to year. In this video you talk about setting your hand up with North and South with 9s, in the Winds and dragons category 3rd line down. My card does not have any hands that are just North and South with 9s. Am I missing something?

@MAHJLIFE Год назад

I use a mock card in these lesson videos. The link is in the video description.

@svetlanageyfman2476 7 месяцев назад

Hi Michelle, why did you keep 9th in different suits, is there a hand that uses same numbers in different suites?

@MAHJLIFE 4 месяца назад

Typically, 45% of the hands on the card use like numbers :)

@vixyswillie Год назад

Hi Michele - question on the blind pass. Let’s say I want to pass only 2 tiles. What happens if the person who is passing me my incoming tiles also wants to pass only 2 tiles? Or what if everyone wants to pass only 2? Where does the 3rd tile come from in those cases? Thanks!

@MAHJLIFE Год назад

When multiple people want to do a blind pass, the player with the most tiles to pass will say to the player they are passing to, "I owe you #." That player can then pass fully and so on and the "I owe you" can be fulfilled with that player receiving their incoming pass.

@amyeverett540 7 месяцев назад

When you are building this exercise, do you put all the tiles out and then build your mock Charleston? It does not look like you have all the tiles on your table

@MAHJLIFE 7 месяцев назад

All the tiles are on the table. First I pull 13 or 14 random tiles for my hand. Next, I quickly look at about 30 tiles to remove the jokers then I mix them up and create the mock Charleston of six rows of three.

@carolynbenson4843 Год назад

Having trouble watching these in order how do you get them to start from beginning and move on from there

@tisha_harrison Год назад

@Carolyn in your RU-vid settings turn on show playlist. Michele Frizzell’s has these videos nested in a playlist that will play them in the order she’s listed here.

@sandrapage1536 2 года назад

Question: You commented you never pass Flowers...why? Thanks.

@mahjcon 2 года назад

With any strategy, never say never but passing Flowers should be a rarity. For the NMJL 2022 card, 38% of the hands use Flowers so, during the Charleston, it’s risky to pass them. When the time comes to possibly pass a Flower, I evaluate my options. For example, if I am still gathering for a category, I narrow down my options to have more discards that can be passed. If I am committed to a hand and I have no gaps with only three discards including a Flower, I may pass the Flower. This also applies when I am playing a big hand (i.e., quint, singles-pairs only, pure).

@sandrapage1536 2 года назад

Thank you......have watched 10 of your Fundamentals videos....helpful....beginning again after 3 years@@mahjcon

@marilynstromsness7034 2 года назад

I am beginning a beginners American Mah Jongg class with 3 other new beginners in my community tomorrows. Do you have a video that describes the names of each tile? MS

@MAHJLIFE 2 года назад

There is a list of links to all the videos in this lesson playlist. Here it is for your convenience; the one you are asking about is the second video: Introduction for Players goo.gl/wGVQLu The Tiles goo.gl/LfbSzs Block Modeling goo.gl/DWioGm Suit Modeling goo.gl/b76hU3 Reading the Card goo.gl/zJxNmr Category Modeling goo.gl/vNYZZR Charleston Modeling goo.gl/Qi7EpP Shuffle up and Deal goo.gl/heqNSM Phase 1 The Charleston goo.gl/27JkC5 Phase 2 Pick and Discard goo.gl/mo34Zd Phase 2 How to Exchange a Joker bit.ly/2ocJhzf

@janetbrooks9203 7 месяцев назад

Why don’t you pass flowers

@MAHJLIFE 6 месяцев назад

In my opinion, Flowers are the most valuable tiles in the set next to the White Dragon. Flowers are required in 44% of the hands on the NMJL 2023 card. I pass Flowers rarely - maybe once on a game-day. I think passing a Flower is equal in risk of passing like numbers. Both of those I see as one step down from passing a pair which should be a last resort. If I'm one or two tiles from being ready to win during the Charleston, I may pass a Flower.

@janetbrooks9203 6 месяцев назад

Thanks. Makes sense.
