A perfect NYC evening with friends, great food, great vibes, and some seriously good Mahjong.This week, we’re diving into the 2-4-6-8 section on the new 2026 card—clean, structured hands that might look simple, but bring major strategy (and serious pressure on those sixes). We break down pivots, where people get stuck, and how to think through this section when the tiles aren’t cooperating.We’re also getting into:The mistake that cost us a big hand (read the card, people)Defensive vs offensive play—when to go for it vs play it safeWhy sixes are flying this year and how to manage the chaosThe Mahjong Moment—IG handles we love and the growing culture of the gameReal friends vs Mahj friends… and the Holy Grail!Plus: dream tables, listener shoutouts, and a Last Tile that actually hits (whether Ira likes it or not).So pull up a chair, rack your tiles, and let’s play.
