Welcome back to Tile Talk Tuesday! If you’re like me, back to school season is in full swing and while we’re welcoming the routine again - it’s been a busy few weeks!
This week we’re talking all about the Charleston - if you haven’t been following along on Instagram and Facebook, I’ve been doing a challenge per week of what would you keep and pass - follow along to see more!
Alright - let’s get into it!
Challenge Corner
This week's question
Let’s talk Charleston - since I've got three classes on it this week. Tap your answer and I'll bring you my read next Tuesday.
Second Charleston, and you're passing three. Pung of North, pair of South, two Flowers, and pairs of 1, 3 and 5 Bam. Do you break up the Norths?

The question I get more than any other: is there a travel set that actually fits in one bag? This is the first one I've said yes to without a caveat.
That's the whole set up there. Mat, four racks, tiles, dice, all of it in that beautiful bag at about four pounds. Every rack has a spot for exposures. The tiles use colored numbers instead of traditional artwork, which I expected to hate and now read faster.
Can you build walls? You can, but they’ll hang over the racks - not uncommon by any means in travel racks and these ones did a good job of making it so they’re able to still have walls but keep the racks slim and easy to travel with!
And the best part? It’s on Amazon! Thanks to the magic of Amazon prime - can be at your doorstep, well….tomorrow!
I love all of Mahjong Atelier’s tiles - such a great price for the quality!

Three Charleston classes in four days
Not planned as a Charleston week. It turned into one, and it's the right thing to be drilling, because the Charleston decides most hands before anyone discards a tile.
