Tile Talk discusses Mahjong Manners, rules, faux pas, etiquette, and recent news surrounding the Mahjong community. Christina is back with her expertise, Elizabeth is recovering from Mardi Gras, and Marshall has a special encounter to share! We also check out the Barbara Marjain saga! Get ready to laugh and learn! Welcome back to Tile Talk with Christina, Elizabeth, and Marshall — the Mahjong podcast and YouTube channel where we talk everything tiles, table talk, and the community we all love! Today we're diving DEEP into Mahjong etiquette and manners — the unwritten (and sometimes written!) rules that make every game more enjoyable for everyone at the table. Think Mahjong etiquette doesn't matter? Think again! Christina, Elizabeth, and Marshall break down the unwritten rules of the Mahjong table — from the Charleston to calling tiles, handling a faux jong, and everything in between. Whether you're a Mahjong beginner or a seasoned player, good manners make every game better. In this episode: We're covering our favorite Mahjong tablescape featuring Soho mats, birdie tiles, and iridescent racks from Miss Maine, plus our go-to Old Fashioned cocktail recipe. Then we dive into the viral Barbara TikTok Mahjong drama — where a player got kicked out of her group for breaking etiquette — and what we can all learn from it. Our biggest etiquette pet peeves? Analysis paralysis slowing down the game, too much talking during active play, and players who can't win or lose graciously. We also cover the right way to call a tile, how to handle snacks and drinks at the table, why you MUST set house rules before the game starts, and the proper Charleston technique for new players. Plus — what actually happens during a faux jong, and how to handle it with grace on both sides of the table. Whether you play American Mahjong with the National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) card or you're just learning how to play Mahjong for the first time, this episode will make you a better player AND a better table mate. #Mahjong #MahjongEtiquette #HowToPlayMahjong #MahjongTips #AmericanMahjong #MahjongCommunity #MahjongBeginners #NationalMahJonggLeague #NMJL #MahjongTiles #MahjongSet #MahjongLife #TileTalk #MahjongPodcast #MahjongNight #LearnMahjong #FauxJong #TheCharleston #MahjongRules #MahjongTablescape #MahjongAccessories #MahjongHumor #MahjongDrama #MahjongTikTok #MahjongGroup #MahjongHostess #MahjongForBeginners #MahjongStrategy #MahJongg #MahjongLove
