Mahjong

How it works

• 136 tiles: three suits (Characters, Dots, Bamboo) numbered 1 to 9, four winds (E, S, W, N) and three dragons (Red, Green, White), four copies of each.
• You start with 13 tiles. Each turn you draw one tile, then tap a tile to select it and press Discard (or tap it again). You get 24 draws in total.
• You win the moment your 14 tiles make four sets plus a pair. A set is three of the same tile, or three in a row in the same suit (no runs of honors). Seven Pairs and Thirteen Orphans also win.
• Hand value (fan): All Chows 1, All Pungs 3, Mixed One Suit 3, Pure One Suit 6, each Dragon Pung 1, each Wind Pung 1, Big Three Dragons 8, Seven Pairs 4, All Honors 10, Thirteen Orphans 13. The values add up to a maximum of 13, and the best reading of your hand is used.
• There are no opponents and no calling of discards, so use the hint line: it tells you how many tiles away you are and, once you are one tile from winning, which tiles you are waiting for.
• The tile order is fixed when you deal. If you leave in the middle of a hand, it waits for you here.
• While you owe money, the profit from a win goes to the bank first.
