Lara of Lara's Mahjong Edit at a mahjong table

Free Charleston guide

Pass with a plan,
not a panic

The Charleston sets up your whole game, and it goes by fast. This free guide walks you through what to pass, what to hold, and when to stop, so the trade-off feels like a choice instead of a scramble.

What you'll get

  • 1A pass-by-pass walkthrough. First right, across, last left, and the optional courtesy, in plain language.
  • 2A simple keep-or-pass rule. How to decide which tiles are worth holding before you commit to a hand.
  • 3The blind pass, demystified. What it is, when it helps, and how to use it without giving the table a gift.
