Episode Description from the Publisher

Prim's grandfather played golf professionally, so he knew every clause of therulebook and exactly what each penalty cost. Which is what made him the right personto look at a ball stuck behind a tree, tell a grandchild "you are not a pro, and thisis not a tournament," and move it. This week Prim asks what that means at a mahjongtable. Crak the Card covers the ways a hand dies and the strange fact that you arenot allowed to call your own. The Table Is Asking handles the woman who exposed ahand she was not entitled to. Who's Talking thanks the two desks quietly writing downthe penalties, and Tile Envy goes looking for the neighborhood shops betting on thisgame. Everyone deserves a seat at this table. https://www.orderofthetile.com#AmericanMahjong #NMJL #Prim #OrderOfTheTile #DeadHand #MahjongRules #TournamentRules #MahjongEtiquette #MahjMind #MahjPalazzo #MahjongHistory #ShopLocal #FootWedge #Mahjong
