insists on drawing his next card from the pile immediately after he has completed his previous move rather than waiting until the start of his next turn.
Welcome to the CC forum chrisp2013! Good question here.
I presume he is not looking at the tile he is selecting until it is his turn correct? If he is looking at the tile after drawing it then he clearly has an advantage. Do you use a draw bag? Or place the tiles face down on the table?
If you are placing the draw piles on the table and he is not looking at his chosen tile (and you wanted to hand his own childish play back to him) then I would say technically his chosen tile is available to be chosen by any other player. Proximity on the board of the draw pile(s) does not indicate ownership.
In actuallity he is not playing the game by the rules. The first step in a player's turn is to draw and place a tile. The rules state "First a player
must draw a land tile from one of the face-down stacks..."
I wonder what he does when the game is winding down? With the Builder in play, for example, the remaining tiles could get drawn at a rate of one or two tiles per player. Does he count the remaining tiles and make a calculated guess as to whether he thinks he is entitled to one of the remaining tiles?
