For instance, if a player has two cards of a sequence but lacks the third card, it may be wise to hold onto those cards until they can draw or acquire the missing piecesatta/king. This strategic patience can pay off in the long run, allowing players to maximize their chances of going out with minimal points remaining in hand. Also, players should consider the timing of their discards carefully. Discarding a card that an opponent has been collecting can provide them with an opportunity to complete their melds.
