Question: Is it recommended that a player always call another player’s hand dead?

Answer: Calling a player’s hand dead or not calling a player’s hand dead can both be used as strategic moves. Here are some thinks to contemplate:

1. A player’s hand goes dead but there are Jokers in exposures that can be exchanged prior to the hand being declared dead.
2. A player’s hand is declared dead and now all players get more picks from the wall.
3. A player’s hand is declared dead to prevent them from making Mah Jongg.
