American mahjong tiles spread across the table

Free guide

Master the Charleston,
one pass at a time.

The whole framework on a page you keep by your rack. What to pass, in what order, and the six questions to run on every pass.

What's inside

  • 1The reframe. You are not winning the hand in the Charleston, you are shaping it, one pass at a time.
  • 2What to pass, in order. Junk first, then one-path long shots, then the tile that hurts less to lose.
  • 3When to break a pair. A pair that fits nothing is two dead tiles. Plus why holding flowers early keeps you flexible.
  • 4The Practice Card. Six questions to run on every single pass, from what to hold to when to pivot.
  • 5Keep it by your rack. The one-page version of my live Charleston Strategy Session, made to glance at mid-game.
