Your first 13 tiles determine your strategy.

TILE PRIORITY (General Rules):

🟢 KEEP:

• Honor tiles (easy Pungs, worth points)

• Terminal tiles (1s and 9s — versatile)

• Connected sequences (4-5-6, 6-7-8)

• Pairs (potential sets or your final pair)

🔴 DISCARD:

• Isolated middle tiles (lone 4, 5, 6 with no neighbors)

• Extra copies beyond what you need

• Tiles that don't connect to anything

Example opening hand:

• 3-4-5 of Dots (keep! Good Chow)

• 7 of Bamboo (discard — isolated)

• Two Red Dragons (keep! Potential Pung)

• 2-3 of Characters (keep — close to Chow)

Goal: Get to 'one tile away' from multiple sets.
