West Wind
Discard West Wind · 1 step from ready, safe vs South
The safest tile against South, who looks ready.
Sifu's reasoning
With South looking ready (2 exposed sets), the West Wind you just drew is the safest tile that keeps your pace: 2 of the 4 copies are already in sight. It keeps you 1 step from ready with 25 useful tiles. Your faan so far: staying concealed (+1) and All Chows (+1), only 2 of the 3 needed. Throwing the 8 Bamboo from your 7-8-9 Bamboo run keeps only 18 useful tiles instead of 25. When someone looks ready, pick the safest tile that keeps your pace.
