Where to Pivot

2026 card · 22 close pivotsHands that share 10 or more of their 14 tiles

1Find the hand you are playing. Its closest neighbor is listed right with it. Every pivot works in both directions.

2The circled number is how many of your 14 tiles are the same in both hands. 12 is the closest any two hands get.

3Keep and Trade are written going from the top hand to the bottom hand. Colors show suits, like on your card.

Remember: jokers come with you, but only into groups of three or more. Hands are shown with example numbers. Where the card says any run or any like number, the same pivot works with your numbers. Check the card for which suits and dragons each hand allows.
