The 2026 Defensive Playbook — Reading the Table & Guarding the Pile

Offense fills your rack; defense keeps everyone else's empty. This playbook teaches the quiet art — reading an opponent's exposures like a headline, knowing which tile in your hand has turned to dynamite, and folding a doomed hand early enough to matter. Beginner fundamentals, advanced table reading, then expert craft, keyed to the 2026 card. Includes the Exposure Decoder and Safe-Tile Ladder as printable table-side sheets.

Delivered as a print-ready PDF, designed to sit beside your own current-year card. Every purchase includes free membership in the Dottie's Mahj Community. The ladies who seem lucky, dear? They're not lucky. They're doing this. — Dottie J. Steinberg
