From any Line of 4. EN: 10

From a 3 & 1 Line:

Ah So		 after

Notes:
  • Although Ah So can be called from any Line of 4, it is almost always called from a Wave. In fact, many callers believe Ah So can only be done from a Wave. EN: 40
  • From a Couple, Ah So is equivalent to Wheel & Deal. From a Mini-Wave, Ah So is equivalent to Single Hinge & Box Counter Rotate 1/4. EN: 50
  • Ah So is a generalization of Wheel & Deal. If both Ends are initially facing the same direction, the rightmost End moves in front of the leftmost End (as they would in a Cycle & Wheel starting from the same setup). EN: 60

From an Inverted Line:

 
 
before
Ah So		 after

I've also seen Ah So done from the following T-Bone setup, in which case the Ends imagine holding onto the Centers' tummies. I think most callers would agree that this example stretches the definition of the call a little too far. EN: 70

Questionable usage of Ah So EN: 80
