WHAT’S BLOWIN IN THE WIND?

• A man won the National Mahjong Tournament in Vegas! (put on by Destination Mahjong) Dave Musso was recently on MahjBros Podcast discussing his strategy: “Play to win - dont get fancy” Even with two or three jokers, he would pick a hand he wouldnt have to struggle with pairs and avoids what his opponents were collecting.He was so calm! He thinks more men are going to get into Mahjong! (https://www.instagram.com/reels/De1mleBxl_P/)
• Lets ask our audience - do you predominately play with women? Mixed?
• Christina is thinking of starting a mens league or at least a game night!?! Couples Leaugue? Mixed? Tiger Den?

NEW! Game to try! NO-Q! We gave it a shot this week and had so much fun!! Here is the synopisis:

• Same rules and game procedure as Mahjong - but the tiles are letters, books, and special characters!
• Set up walls (15 io 18), deal is a bit different, but the same gist. EAch player is dealt 15/16 for dealer. Roll the dice to determine who goes first and how many letters are in your “lead” word.
• For a winning hand you need a pair of books in the same color, lead word in opposite color of the books (number of letters from dice roll), and a special character - you fill in words to complete a 16 tile hand. No jokers for pairs or singles, you can mix number tiles for words 4 letters and over.
• Major Differences from Mahjong?
• Soooo good for kids! And spelling challenged adults!
