Why Clack vs. Rack?
When I was taught how to play Mahjong, I was taught to Clack under the assumption that the quicker you do it the better so that your turn didn’t get skipped. I loved this competitive aspect to the game and the Clacking gives me joy but it was quickly extinguished when I was reprimanded for doing so in lieu of Racking. When I play in my own home and when I teach my students, I teach them the Clack and I play with the Clack because it’s a game and whooooo careeeeees. I also teach the Rack of course AND when I am competing in a tournament, I Rack all the day long. This coaster is supposed to make it easy to remember which one you are playing that game so you don’t have to be perpetually reminded.
