NMJL 2024 Card Analysis with Actionable Insights and Tips for Smooth Transition

The National Mah Jongg League publishes its annual card of valid hands in early April. The rules of the game rarely change, and the way hands are described (i.e., colors, letters, numbers, format) stays the same. The changes are in the shapes and patterns of the hands. In this video, I'll show the results of my analysis of the new card, share actionable insights, and finish with tips for a smooth transition.
CORRECTIONS: 13:20 This is an illustration of Odds #7. At 20:10, I said there are no wind hands in Singles and Pairs, but there are winds in the BIG HAND! Also, at 20:20, I say there are three hands in the Quints category, but there are four. Download the free ebook with the nitty-gritty details (version 20240405.1): tinyurl.com/mv...

CORRECTIONS: 13:20 This is an illustration of Odds #7. At 20:10, I said there are no wind hands in Singles and Pairs, but there are winds in the BIG YEAR hand! At 20:23 my presentation shows three Addition hands show four hands but there are only three. Also, at 20:20, I say there are three hands in the Quints category, but there are four.

Extremely helpful observations for new and seasoned players. Particularly appreciated percentage breakdown, tiles to pass during Charleston and tiles to discard early, and hands that are more switchable than others. I am much better prepared for my next game of mahjong after watching your informative and encouraging video.
@trudywebster126
@trudywebster126 5 месяцев назад
A possible reason for the point difference in CR #8 and Odds #7, is that in the Odds hand you have to use the specific numbers shown. In the CR hand you can use "any" consecutive numbers which may make it slightly easier.
@MAHJLIFE
@MAHJLIFE 5 месяцев назад
That could be the reason too.

I think the point Anomaly in the evens compared to 2023 is because one of the pairs is flowers - and there are eight flowers in the tiles.

Thank you for your time in analyzing the card, Michele. I shared your link with my new MJ group. We are all learning. Question: in your analysis, you put in a table that there were 0 math hands last year. Aren't the "Addition Hands" on the 2023 card considered math hands? Like I said, I'm new so forgive me if I'm off base.

In this video, you mention "not passing like numbers or pairs". Aren't they the same thing? Or do you mean, for example, "like numbers" would be 3 or 4 of a kind as opposed to a pair of something? (I'm relatively new player and am trying to learn and improve my knowledge!) Thanks!

Love your analysis; you probably already are aware, but when you are talking in the analysis about the QUINTS category, you mention that there are "three options" in QUINTS. Actually there are four, and if you count the consecutive run #6, there are five.

Michele, No one seems to be able to answer directly the following question: can TWO jokers be used to MAKE a pair? Everyone realizes jokers can never be used WITH a pair/COMPLETE a pair, but can two jokers MAKE a pair?
@MAHJLIFE
@MAHJLIFE 3 месяца назад
Jokers cannot be used to make a pair. They can be used in a block of three or more identical tiles (e.g., pung, kong).
@marieippolito1620

@brdwyguy

Michele, if a person discards a Joker and names it the tile that was thrown just before, can a person call it and use the Joker only as that designated tile? or is it still basically frozen?

Under quints line two, it reads any two suits, quints any two nonmatching nos. Any wind. We are told that the quints can't be consecutive??? If it says non-mataching why would this be true! Help
@MAHJLIFE
@MAHJLIFE 4 месяца назад
My interpretation of the hand is that you can use any two numbers as long as they are not the same number or the same suit.
@geoffreylloyd3073
@geoffreylloyd3073 5 месяцев назад
Please explain the Odds #7 distribution that you showed with three sets of 9's. The card said "These Nos. Only". The card reads 55577999, 777,777. But your model shows 55577999, 999, 999. So, how were you able to use 3 sets of 9's?
@WalterRoser
@WalterRoser 4 месяца назад
Is there a rule regarding when you can rack your charleston; i.e. do you need to wait until everyone has passed their tiles?
@MAHJLIFE
@MAHJLIFE 4 месяца назад
There are no rules stipulating when tiles from an incoming pass can be racked. For a smooth process, it's best to wait until everyone has their incoming pass in their hands. Also, it's courteous to wait to give another player an outgoing pass until everyone has racked the tiles from the previous incoming pass.
@jayplaysmahjong
@jayplaysmahjong 5 месяцев назад
This is just my thought on the valuations. Do you think the 25 point hands in consecutive run with more pairs are valued less than they traditionally would be because they're in consecutive run and because of the flexibility in that section?
@lindapayne3400
@lindapayne3400 5 месяцев назад
There are 8 flowers, more than the number tiles. That may account for the difference in score.
