The Call Window

Understand the brief moment when others may claim a discard.

Concept

Discard, pause, then next draw.

After East discards 4 Dot, the table briefly pauses. West may call the 4 Dot if it completes a legal meld, while the other players may choose not to call.

When West calls, West must make a legal move with the discard, such as exposing a meld that uses the 4 Dot.

Rule in plain English

Pause after discard.

If West calls East’s 4 Dot, West must expose a legal meld that uses that 4 Dot.

Takeaway

A call must create a legal exposed meld.

The rhythm is discard, pause, call if legal, then the caller discards.
