Green Dragon
Discard Green Dragon · 2 steps from ready, safe vs North
The safest tile against North, who looks ready.
Sifu's reasoning
With North looking ready (an exposed set), the Green Dragon is the safest tile that keeps your pace: other players have already thrown it. It keeps you 2 steps from ready with 36 useful tiles. Your faan so far: staying concealed (+1) and All Chows (+1), only 2 of the 3 needed. The tempting choice is the 3 Dots from your middle 3-5 Dots, but it keeps only 26 useful tiles instead of 36. When someone looks ready, pick the safest tile that keeps your pace.
