2026 NMJL Card: Consecutive Run Strategy, Hand Breakdown, and Best Pivots

Let’s break down the Consecutive Run section on the 2026 National Mah Jongg League card. Consecutive Run is one of the most beginner-friendly sections on the NMJL Card.

In this video, I walk through every hand in the Consecutive Run section, showing you exactly how to build them, which hands offer flexibility, and which must be played exactly as written. We also cover some of the trickier hands in this section and how to approach them without getting stuck mid-game.

Inside this breakdown:

• Step-by-step walkthrough of each hand in the Consecutive Run section
• Which hands are flexible and which are more rigid
• How to manage tricky or restrictive hand patterns
• New groupings introduced this year, including the sextet of flowers

We also walk through smart pivot strategies, including:

• How to pivot within the Consecutive Run section
• When to pivot into other sections
• How to stay flexible as your tiles develop

This video is part of my Mahj 102 series for the 2026 NMJL card, designed to help you play smarter, pivot faster, and win more games this year.
