Here’s how it helps: 🧠 Boosts Memory, Keeping track of tiles, remembering discards, and recognising patterns all help sharpen short-term and working memory. 🎯 Strengthens Strategy Skills. Each hand involves planning, decision-making, and adapting to what others play — keeping your brain flexible and focused. 👥 Encourages Social Thinking.
