Free Charleston rules guide

The rules of the Charleston,
spoken and unspoken

Everyone learns the official Charleston rules. Almost no one tells you the unwritten ones, the little table habits that make you look like you have done this a hundred times. This free guide covers both, so you can pass with quiet confidence instead of second-guessing every tile.

What you'll get

• 1The written rules, made simple. The official order of passing, the courtesy pass, and what is and isn't allowed, in plain language.
• 2The unwritten table etiquette. The quiet habits experienced players use that nobody puts on the card, so you feel at home at any table.
• 3What to do when it goes sideways. A blind pass, a short pass, an out-of-turn slip, handled without missing a beat.
