A Couple of Notes on Etiquette


The winner declares how many fans they have got. As long as they are not claiming more than they actually have, that is what they are paid. One player tonight claimed for 16 fans for his hand, when he in fact had 18. This mistake cost him about 2 quid in lost revenue.

It is okay to let someone take over your seat to play for a while with their money (or yours if you're feeling generous.)

A game should only finish when all 4 rounds have been played through.

Black tea is drunk during play (typically a Lipton tea bag in a glass which remains there throughout. You keep topping it up with hot water, until you have really got your money's worth ;-). Coffee is almost acceptable. Beer, and other real refreshments is frowned upon.

When making your wall, you take 3 tiles in each hand, put them together, and then do it again. You put the second 6 on top of the first. You do the same thing again in front of your mini wall, and then taking 3 stacks in either hand, you add these to each end of your mini wall. You do this again, and thus have your 18 tile wall, this should be pushed into the middle at an angle, with the left-hand side sloping towards the table edge.

You should smoke heavily throughout (I'm not sure if this essential, but it has happened every time I've played here, and every time I've watched ;-)
