Working on New Card Presentation
Posted: April 3, 2025 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentI can’t even comment on the stupidity of the day. The one thing I will say is that one does not get credit for fixing a problem of their own making. So if and when things come back the one who ruined it in the first place gets no credit for fixing it. Please god let that one person fix it fast because I am not sure how much more stupid I can handle.
In an attempt to keep my head on straight I worked all day on my Mah Jongg New Card Class power point. I have seen and read what some “experts” have to say and I am shocked at how much more I have to say. No one should be surprised that I have a lot to say. Of course I don’t put this stuff online. You have to come see me if you want to know what I think so I can teach it to you.
Since I teach over 2,000+ people a year I tend to think about the card from a new player’s perspective. I try and explain things in a way that new players will understand. Experienced players will understand it anyway.
When creating my PowerPoint I try and use repeating symbols to help explain things so I don’t have to repeat the same information over and over again. This year I decided I had so many symbols that I needed a key for them right up front.

I am currently on slide 39 and I think I am barley half way through all my thoughts about the 2025 card. The last time I felt this way about a card it was 2020 and we know what a shit show that year turned out to be. So far 2025 is beating 2020.
