How stronger players think. Tile efficiency and hand shape, reading what opponents are collecting from their discards, knowing when to push for a big hand and when to fold, and how much of the result comes down to luck rather than skill. Written for players who already know the rules and want to win more often.
The recurring theme is pricing decisions rather than memorising rules. One piece counts tile efficiency instead of guessing at it; another prices a risky discard so push-or-fold stops being a feeling. There is a method for reading the discard river, the melds and the waits, and a diagnosis of whether your default is offence or defence and what that costs you. On luck: it decides individual hands, and skill decides seasons.
