About this episode

Prim Proper discusses the intricacies of Mahjong scoring and rules in the latest episode.

A hive split at the end of summer, and somebody asked whether what was left on the branch was the third half. It was not. It was a quarter, and that turned out to be the whole issue. This week Prim counts what the 2026 card actually pays. In Crak the Card, why thirty one of the fifty five lines are worth exactly twenty five cents, and why the single seventy five cent hand is usually a mistake. In The Table Is Asking, the settlement almost nobody at your table can state correctly. In The Draw, the misnamed tile rule that costs four times the value of the hand, and the question now sitting with the National Mah Jongg League. And in Crak Intelligence, the thing about the colors on your card that startles players of ten years. #AmericanMahjong #NMJL #Prim #OrderOfTheTile #Mahjong #MahjongScoring #MahjongStrategy #NMJLCard #MahjongRules #JokerRules #ModernMahjong #MahJonggFever #MahjongCommunity #TileLife
