On the Thursday before Memorial Day, Prim sets the strategy talk aside for a moment. This issue gathers the community around what the weekend asks of us:

  • how to acknowledge the day at your Thursday game without theater,
  • the women whose service is inseparable from the game they love,
  • and the wartime mahjong circles that held a generation together through the 1940s and into the VA hospital wards.

Strategy still gets its hour, in a quietly unconventional Crak the Card on the hand that cannot close, and the discipline of finishing the game with honor anyway.
