Sound Familiar?

What if you could approach the new card with calm confidence?

—

Every year, the card drops and everyone scrambles to memorize hands

—

Social media floods with hot takes and "best hands" lists

—

You stare at the card wondering where to even begin

—

Your first few weeks feel overwhelming, reactive, and uncertain

You're not behind. You just need a different approach.
Memorizing isn't strategy. This year, let's do it differently.

A Two-Part Strategic Experience

Don't Memorize. Strategize.

Both parts are live. Build your framework, then apply it hand by hand to the 2026 card.

Behind The Edit

Hi, I'm Lara.

I teach the why behind every decision — not just what to memorize. My method focuses on helping you understand the thinking behind strategy, so you play with intention instead of guesswork.

The 2026 Strategy Edit is how I want everyone to start their season: with a plan, with clarity, and without the spiral. Whether you're a newer player or a seasoned one, this program meets you where you are.

"I teach the why behind every decision — not just what to memorize."

What players are saying

"

Lara explains everything distinctly so that I can understand it immediately… and it sticks. She seems more like a friend helping rather than someone lecturing you.

Lara is always there for us, and replies promptly to my questions. Plus Zooming Live helps me to better understand the game and allows us to ask follow-up questions immediately.

It holds me accountable to play without a formal gathering and to concentrate on particular aspects of the game every month so that I can improve. And I love the reward system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get when I enroll?+
You get immediate access to the full program — both Part 1 (The Strategic Reset) and Part 2 (The 2026 Card Playbook). That includes all video lessons, guided worksheets, and the tiny win tracker. Everything lives inside Circle, a private online community platform.
Is both parts available right now?+
Yes! Both Part 1 and Part 2 are fully live. You can move through the entire program at your own pace — build your strategic framework in Part 1, then immediately apply it to the 2026 hands in Part 2.
Is this live or pre-recorded?+
All modules are pre-recorded so you can watch on your own schedule. There is one optional live Q&A with Lara — and yes, a replay will be available if you can't make it live.
How long do I have access?+
You get ongoing access to all the videos, worksheets, and materials. Watch them once, revisit them mid-season, come back next year for a refresher — they're yours to keep.
I'm a beginner. Is this right for me?+
If you know the basics of American Mahjong and want to approach the new card strategically, absolutely. This is designed to feel approachable, not advanced. If you're truly brand new, start with The Foundations Edit first.
I'm in the Confidence Club. Do I need to buy this?+
Nope! The 2026 Strategy Edit is included with your membership at no extra cost. It'll show up right inside your Circle community alongside everything else you already love.
Is this a line-by-line card breakdown?+
No — and that's the whole point. This is a strategic framework for how to approach any new card with clarity and confidence. You won't find a "best hands" list here. You'll find a way of thinking that serves you every year.
How much time will this take?+
Each module is 10–15 minutes with a light worksheet. Part 1 is 2–3 lessons, and Part 2 is 6 modules. You could easily work through each part in a single sitting, or spread it out over a few days — whatever feels best for you.
Where do I access the program?+
Everything lives inside Circle — a private online community platform where you'll find all your videos, worksheets, and materials in one place. After purchase, you'll receive an email with instructions to join. You can access Circle from your computer, tablet, or phone. If you're already a Confidence Club member, the program will appear right inside your existing Circle community — no extra login needed.
