Singaporean Tai-tais

So, did you lose again? Does your pocket hurt from the many times you’ve gone in to dig out the little that is left in there? Are all our blue and red notes gone? Is all that is left the shade of a painful blueblack (orche)? Well, today is your lucky day because I am going to give you a super mahjong tip that is sure to make you “wu tai zi mo”!

The very first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are not sitting below an iron tree. If you don’t know what an iron tree is, you really shouldn’t be playing the game. How do you make sure of this? Don’t play with the professional aunties who want to sit according to the wind you have chosen. Simply be gracious and wait for everyone to sit first, and then request for the seat before the iron tree’s turn.

Now that you have a higher chance of completing your set of trios, it’s now all up to a quick calculating mind, smart control of cards (yes, try being the iron tree yourself) and of course, you will still need dumb luck. Have Fun!
