Why Original Cards

Original cards let the game teach American-style mechanics while avoiding copied annual-card content. They are practice material, not a replacement for a club's chosen official card.

What You Practice

The beginner card focuses on readable runs, winds, flowers, dragons, and clear groups so new players can learn why a hand is close or dead.

Next Step

After the beginner card, move to Practice or Seasonal tables to handle more flexible hand families and stronger table defense.
