NMJL Card Management. Learn sections. Choosing a line to play. Make educated choices.

The Charleston. What is it? How does it work? How it helps your hand (most of the time!) Choosing what tiles to trade. When to stop the process. Make more educated choices. 

Game Strategy. Patterns, discards, jokers, neutral tiles, 'beginning ~middle~end' of the wall timing, and how to play offensively v. defensively.
