Lara seated at the table reading her hand

Free guide

Read any hand on the card,
in 30 seconds.

The exact five-step scan I run every game. Sort, spot your strength, match it to a section, and let your discard pick itself.

What you'll get

  • 1Sort before you scan. Group your dots, bams, and craks, honors aside. You cannot read a hand you have not sorted.
  • 2Find your concentration. Spot where your tiles are already clustered. That cluster is your clue.
  • 3Match it to a section. Evens point to 2468, a run to Consecutive Run, odds to 13579. You read one section, not the whole card.
  • 4Pick two candidates. Hold two hands, not one, so a dead hand cannot strand you.
  • 5Let it pick your discard. The tile that helps neither hand is the one that goes.
