About this episode

Jason and Ira discuss various aspects of Mahjong, including debates, community events, and recent drama in the game.

International Mahjong Week may be wrapping up, but the mahjong madness is just getting started. This week, Jason and Ira revisit the great “hold,” “pause,” or “call” debate, review @mahjeltov's post about dead hands and redeemable jokers, and share the latest leaderboard drama from the Mahj Bros Battle on Mini Mahj Daily. Plus, a huge charity win in the Hamptons, another round of Call It, plenty of mailbag mayhem, and a reminder of what makes this game—and this community—so special. Pull up a chair, rack your tiles, and let’s play.
