Someone is selling fake cards. And too many of you are buying them.
In Issue No. 3, Prim addresses the counterfeit NMJL cards flooding Amazon and Walmart, breaks down why the joker is sovereign on the 2026 card (52 of 55 hands — do the math), and answers the question that won't stop showing up in group chats: what does "any two numbers" actually mean?
This week: a counterfeit card warning every player needs to hear, three joker economy strategies that will change how you expose, the Quints No. 3 debate settled once and for all, a spotlight on Jessica Roe of Southern Sparrow and her Mahj 101 video series, the rise of solo mahjong practice as its own aesthetic movement, tile sets from Miss Mahjong and My Fair Mahjong, The Greenbrier mahjong tournament, and how a Standard Oil executive named Joseph Park Babcock brought mahjong to America through Abercrombie & Fitch.
The Order of the Tile. New issues every Thursday. Forward this to your favorite fourth — everyone deserves a seat at this table.
