Mahjong
Mahjong is a four-player draw-and-discard game. Players build four melds and a pair from characters, bamboo, dots, winds, and dragons. Tilehaus uses the 136-tile Chinese/Hong Kong table without flowers so every deal is a complete wall of 34 stacks.
Sık sorulanlar
- How many tiles are in mahjong?
- A Chinese playing set without bonus tiles has 136 tiles. Boxed sets sold with flowers and seasons have 144. Tilehaus deals the 136-tile wall: 108 suited tiles, 16 winds, and 12 dragons.
- How many players do you need for mahjong?
- Four. Classic Chinese and Hong Kong mahjong is a four-seat game. Three-player tables exist as house variants with a shortened wall. Tilehaus fills empty chairs with bots so you can start without three friends.
- How do you win in mahjong?
- You win (hu) by completing four melds and a pair — 14 tiles. A meld is a pong of three identical tiles, a kong of four, or a chow of three consecutive tiles in one suit. You can win by self-draw or by claiming a discard.
- What is a pong, chow, and kong in mahjong?
- A pong (pung) is three identical tiles. A kong is four identical tiles and draws a replacement from the wall. A chow is three consecutive ranks in one suit. Only the player to the discarder’s left may chow; anyone may pong, kong, or hu.
- Is mahjong hard to learn?
- The first hand is the hard part: three suits, winds, and dragons. After you can read tiles, the loop is draw-or-claim, then discard. Scoring charts (faan, han) are a later skill. Tilehaus uses a teaching table so you can finish a hand before you memorize a club chart.
- How long does a game of mahjong take?
- One hand is often 10–20 minutes. A social set of hands runs 45–90 minutes. Club sessions can last hours. Online with bots, a single teaching hand is closer to 15 minutes.
- What is the difference between mahjong and mahjong solitaire?
- They only share tile art. Four-player mahjong is a draw-and-discard meld game with a wall. Mahjong solitaire (Shanghai) is a one-player matching puzzle: remove free identical pairs until the layout is clear.
- Can you play mahjong with two or three players?
- The designed game is four seats. Two- and three-player house rules exist, usually by removing tiles or using dead walls. On Tilehaus you still sit a four-seat table; bots take the empty chairs and only make legal claims.
- How many tiles does each player get in mahjong?
- Each player is dealt 13 tiles. The dealer (East) starts with 14 and discards first. After that, a hand stays at 13 until you declare hu on a 14th tile.
- How does mahjong scoring / faan work?
- On the Tilehaus teaching table a win is scored in faan (fan), then paid as 2^faan points (cap 128). Dragon pungs, seat/round wind pungs, self-draw, all pungs, mixed or pure one suit, and all honors are the usual patterns. A chicken hand (0 faan) still pays 1. Club charts differ; this is not an official HKMA schedule.
- Can you play mahjong online free?
- Yes. Tilehaus runs a free four-player teaching table in the browser — no account required. Bots fill empty seats. Remote friends join with a room code when the friend server is running.
