Which tile would you throw?
You're going for the 369 hand on the 2026 card, and you need three more tiles. It's your turn to throw.
The hand you're going for
The 369 hand: two Flowers, three each of the 3, 6 and 9 Bam, then a 3, 6 and 9 Crak. It's concealed and pays 30.
Your rack
Tap the tile you'd throw.
Show my answer
I'd throw a 6 Crak.
This hand takes three 6 Bams and one 6 Crak, and you have them all. Your second 6 Crak has no place in it.
A beginner might throw the 3 Bam. Keep it. The hand needs three 3 Bams, and this is your only one, so throwing it leaves you four tiles away instead of three.
