American Mah Jongg Lesson Strategy Joker Bait III Chum the Table (mock card)

Описание: Mah jongg is the 4-player Chinese tile game that took America by storm in the 1920s. One of the things that differentiate American mah jongg from all the other versions is the use of jokers. Jokers can be used for any block of tiles consisting of 3 or more identical tiles. Joker bait is a term coined by Tom Sloper (https://goo.gl/wG7YAR). Basically, joker bait is made up of multiples that you keep even if you do not need them. You discard one of the tiles from the multiple to coax an exposure with jokers. You can also hold onto single valuable tiles like Flowers and Dragons. During the pick and discard phase of the game, when someone makes an exposure with a joker using those tiles, you may be able to make an exchange using the natural tile to get the Joker. Be mindful to get rid of them before the end of the third wall. In this video, I play a game of solitaire to demonstrate the concept.
