Every hand on the card has relatives. Once you can see them, you stop feeling stuck when your first-choice hand goes cold, because you were never really building one hand in the first place. You were building a family, and there is almost always a next one waiting close by.

What's inside

Two pages. The full family framework, worked tile by tile.

Twins

The same line of the card, an "-or-" apart. Same tiles, same points, the only thing that changes is how many suits.

Siblings

Same section, a different line. The family resemblance is real, the structure just got rearranged.

Cousins

A different section entirely, but it uses the same numbers in the same suit, so the tiles you already have carry right over. The hardest relative to spot, and the most powerful one to know.

Worked example, tile by tile

2468 #1 and its whole family tree

The guide walks one anchor hand, 2468 #1, through all three relationships: its twin (the built-in "-or-"), its sibling (2468 #5, same section), and its cousin (Consecutive Run #4, a different section that reuses the same 2s and 4s). Card-accurate tiles, colored the way the card codes them: color shows how many suits, never which suit.

Spot a family in 30 seconds

  1. Check your own line first. An "-or-" means your twin is already built in.
  2. Check the lines above and below yours. Same section, related shape. That's where siblings hide.
  3. Follow the numbers you already hold. Scan other sections for a hand that reuses those same numbers in the same suit. That's how cousins get found.
