The Charleston

What Can't Be Passed

Jokers may never be passed during any Charleston step, blind or otherwise.

Because Jokers are the most valuable tiles in the game, the rules keep them out of the Charleston exchange entirely — whatever Jokers you're dealt stay in your hand from the start.

Example

Even if you'd rather pass along a Joker you can't use, the rules require you to choose three other tiles instead.
