- 8 flowers
In five seconds
Sixteen tiles, tai and the dealer streak
Sixteen in hand, seventeen to win
Five sets and a pair. A chow, a pung or a kong is a set. The dealer takes one extra tile and discards first.
Tai add up; nothing doubles
On a self-draw all three pay; on a discard only the discarder pays. A zero-tai hand still wins the base.
The dealer keeps the deal, and each hand of streak adds 2 tai
- +1莊
- +3連1拉1
- +5連2拉2
- +7連3拉3
- +9連4拉4
Only the payment between the dealer and the other player carries it.
The app
Paper menus, an indigo table, 36# engraved tiles
These are design frames of the app; screenshots from the real build replace them at launch.
Fair play
Chips you earn, rules you can read
Chips are earned, never sold
You earn chips by playing, from daily rewards and from reward videos you choose to watch. Nobody can buy chips, cash them out or hand them to another player.
The app is free. Ads run only between games.
The rules are in plain sight
After every hand the result card lists each tai line and what each player pays. The app and this site run the same game engine, so the calculator scores a hand the way the table does.
