What is the 1/4/7 rule in mahjong? ›

o The "1-4-7 rule" is a good playing strategy (for all forms of Mah-Jongg except American (style similar to NMJL) in which there are no "chows"). If the player to your right discards a 4, and you don't have another of those to discard, you /might/ be all right if you discard a 1 or a 7.

Hold on to a pair

Keep a pair in your hand, rather than trying to create a set of three right away. Remember, a basic winning hand is four sets of three plus a matching pair.

Riichi. Declaring riichi means declaring a ready hand, and is a kind of yaku. A player may declare ready if a player's hand needs only one tile to complete a legal hand (tenpai), and the player has not claimed another players' discards to make open melds.

The original Chinese word for a winning mahjong hand means "harmony", referring to the harmonious state of the regular hand, with 4 sets and a pair. The Thirteen Orphans hand is the polar opposite of the regular hand: it is the hand which is the most difficult to develop (by drawing and discarding) into a regular hand.

A Kong - a set of 4 identical tiles. e.g. 4 x Eight of Bamboos or 4 x North Winds. A Chow - a run of 3 tiles in the same suit. A Chow does not score and so is only helpful because it can contribute to a hand that allows a player to call Mah Jong.

American mah-jongg is hard because you can only play the hands listed on the current year's card (purchased through the National Mah Jongg League). It's quite a challenge to find possibilities for hands from among a random 13 or 14 tiles.

To win mahjong a player must form four sets and one pair. When you know you have a winning hand, you can shout 'mahjong! '

Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck.

“CHICKEN HAND” (gai-ful)

This is typically the “easiest” type of hand to put together because there are many varieties of sets and runs that a Player can collect. There is 'nothing special' about the way you won.

Dora are tiles that are worth 1 han each, just by having them in your hand. However, just because dora are worth han does not mean that they are a yaku. You must have a yaku to win a hand and benefit from the bonus han that dora provide.

What is the F in mahjong? ›

Ron is the call when the winning tile is discarded by another player. This winning tile can be called regardless of which player discards it, and regardless of whether it forms a meld or completes the player's pair. Tsumo is the call when the player draws the tile themselves out of the wall at the start of their turn.

Mahjong Combination: Thirteen Orphans/Thirteen Wonders (十三幺)

It apparently has a 1 in 2,464 chance of happening. This combination requires each of the four Winds tile, each of the three Dragons tile, the number one and nine of the three suits (Bamboo, Circles or Characters).

The general strategy is to keep removing matching tiles so that each removal opens up more possibilities for future tile matching. If you have a pair that does not open anything, leave it until you need it. Don't forget that you should open up new tiles with every matched pair.

Yes. You may always exchange a tile for a Joker, regardless of whether you are playing a concealed or an exposed hand. If you are playing a concealed hand, you will have no exposures until declaring Mah Jongg, unless you have switched and are no longer pursuing a concealed hand.

Players cannot pick up a discarded tile for a single or a pair unless it is the final tile necessary to declare Mahjong. This is one of the most important rules when playing Mahjong. Accordingly, except to declare Mahjong, players cannot pick up a discarded tile to complete “NEWS” or to complete the year (ex.

Chi. If one's upper seat discards a tile which can complete a sequence with two tiles in one's hand, one may announce "chi" and claim the discard to form an exposed sequence with those two tiles. Unlike "pong" or "win", one may "chi" only a tile discarded by one's upper seat.

The Winds and Dragons (collectively called Words)

The first 4 are wind tiles that correspond to the 4 directions: East, South, West, and North.
