Im an extremely new player a bit confused, around 10:55 when discussing claiming a discarded tile you mention “the tile is given to the player next in turn from the last player who discarded”. then in the example you show player 1 taking a discard tile after player 3’s turn. can anyone claim a discard anytime as long as its before the next person draws? or is it only the player next in turn who can? your instructions have been amazing so far thank you so much for making it so clear cut!!
Welcome to Mah Jongg Class UA-cam Channel!! In the example player 1 takes a discard tile after player 3’s turn, anyone can claim a discard anytime as long as its before the next person draws a tile and RACKS it. They must be able to make a pung, kong or quint and place it on top of the rack for all to see. Thank you your kind words and I am so happy to hear that you find my videos so clear cut!!
Either I missed something or you forgot a step. How did the players get their original tiles? Do they draw them from the mix? How many? Also why is the wall at the beginning so short?which player provides their wall first? Thanks.
Mah Jongg is like cards in the sense that tiles are dealt out. There are other videos that go into details. Just getting you started in the game. This video might be helpful to see how the game is played. ua-cam.com/video/uZ_l1Yx2WZM/v-deo.htmlsi=btKB5vXwNMG49cBb or try this ua-cam.com/video/x7AjkuurYPA/v-deo.htmlsi=Imhv4ZB7kPuMXaor I have a whole series of beginner videos to watch ua-cam.com/play/PLuQyslOYV5NRgYaIglgjvattrLrDqIDGg.html&si=Y99yU7CHjkuzGpxZ it's best to take lessons and use these videos as a resource.

In addition to the tiles previewed in the video, my set also includes 8 season tiles (2 each for summer, winter, autumn, and spring). My set also includes 10 joker tiles, and 4 blanks. Are these extra tiles not part of American Mahjong?
Hi Michael, American Mah Jongg is played with 8 jokers and 8 flowers. The 8 season tiles you can choose to play with but then remove the 8 other flowers. Choose the ones you like. Only use 8 joker and remove 2. The 4 blank are for replacement tiles if you should chip or misplace a tile. I put the extra tiles in a ziplock back and keep in my case. Enjoy your set!
Hi, I have a question. When Player 1 calls the "2crack" before player 3 picks up their tile from the wall they have essentially gone out of turn, or had an extra turn. After that does play continue to player 3 and then 4 and then again to 1? It's like player 1 just had an extra turn by calling.
Great question, Play continues to the right of the player who called the tile after they discard. so in your example player 2 would go, because player 1 called for the tile. Let me know if understand this?
@@MAHJONGGCLASS So, it's as if player 3 and 4 were skipped essentially and player 1 and 2 got an extra turn due to the "Call". Play continues to the right of whoever calls.
@@MAHJONGGCLASS Thank you for responding so quickly and answering my questions. Your video tutorials are amazing! I appreciate how well you've put them together and explained everything!

You didn't tell up anything about 123, 234, 456, 789 sets etc
These are chows, its a new grouping that is effective with the 2024 card.
THAT WHITE CLOTH IS NOT MADE FOR THIS GAME......
Our group enjoys this table cover with snaps amzn.to/3OeB8np, like slide easy. What cover do you like to play on for Mah Jongg?
A CLEAR PLEXIGLASS TOP SO YOU CAN HEAR THE TILES WHEN YOU MOVE THEM.
@@ROBERT-rw8lfwhat does hearing the tiles do for the player?
