From the table
The safest tile is already on the table
Four tiles you could throw. The count says which.
Weekly · lesson 1 of 1
You are on the consecutive run of pungs and kongs in bams, 1 through 4, and you have just drawn a 7 crak. Fourteen tiles, and four of them do nothing for you.
The candidates are the 7 crak, the 9 crak, the North and the 5 dot. Across the table a player has exposed a pung of 7 craks and a pung of 9 craks, so she is on the high odd numbers, and both craks feed her directly. Do not hand her the fourth.
That leaves the 5 dot and the North. One 5 dot is gone, so three are still out, and any of them could be somebody's pung. Two Norths are gone. With two of four already thrown, nobody at the table can ever call a North for a pung or a kong: there are not enough left to make one. The only way a North helps anyone now is as the last tile of a finished hand.
Tip
A tile that has been thrown twice is the closest thing to a free discard the game offers. Before you throw anything else, look for one.
