  7. 6OptionalRightThree tiles right. A blind pass is allowed.
  8. 7By agreementCourtesyZero to three tiles with the player across.

Never pass a joker. Not in any pass, not in the courtesy pass.

A blind pass passes on tiles you just received, unseen. Only on the first left and the last right.

Pass first, in this order: lone winds and dragons, then numbers outside your two or three possible hands, then pairs none of those hands need.
