The Discard Test
Caption
When several tiles look disposable, how do you decide which one goes?
Try the 10-Second Discard Test:
1. Does it connect? Does the tile support either of your two realistic directions?
2. Is it flexible? Could another likely direction reuse it?
3. What does the table show? Check the discards and exposures before releasing a critical tile late in the game.
The goal is not to find a completely useless tile.
It is to discard the tile with the least future value.
Which question would improve your discards the most—connection, flexibility or reading the table?
Save this card, share it with a player who overthinks every discard and follow Mahjong Gangster Squad for the final lesson.
