Hand of the Day, June 16

Promising, needs shaping. Direction: Winds & Dragons.

The deal

1499JJJ

1 Bam, 4 Bam, 9 Bam, 9 Dot, Green Dragon, Red Dragon, Soap (White), Soap (White), Joker, Joker, Joker, East, South

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Winds & Dragons (6 wind/dragon tiles).

3 jokers, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.

The strongest category here is Winds & Dragons (6 wind/dragon tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Consecutive Numbers.

Keep and pass

Worth holding: Red Dragon, East, South, Soap (White), Soap (White).

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

9 Dot: a loner, serves neither Winds & Dragons nor Consecutive Numbers

1 Bam: only backs your second option (Consecutive Numbers), weakest of what's left

4 Bam: only backs your second option (Consecutive Numbers), weakest of what's left

A new hand like this one goes live every morning, read tile by tile by the coach. Play today’s hand free, or get the coach on your own tiles with the 14-Day Challenge or the Club.
