Your 11 beginner lessons

  1. Meet the Sichuan tiles

    Three suits, four players, and a different kind of finish.

    Match both the number and the suit. The bird is one bamboo.

  2. Four sets and a pair

    Recognize the ordinary 14-tile winning shape.

    Four sets + one pair, with no tiles of your declared missing suit.

  3. Exchange three tiles

    Make your first choice before normal play begins.

    Exchange exactly three tiles, all from one suit.

  4. Choose your missing suit

    Pick one suit to clear, then follow that choice.

    Clear your missing suit first, including any new tile you draw from it.

  5. Your first normal turn

    Draw, check the hand, and choose a discard.

    Ordinary turn: automatic draw, check for a win, then discard.

  6. Pungs, kongs, and sequences

    Know which tiles you can claim from another player.

    You can call pung or kong, but not chow. Sequences in your own hand still count.

  7. Find and claim a win

    Recognize your waits and use the Mahjong button.

    Choose Mahjong to claim the win. Passing a discard win blocks another until your next draw.

  8. The game continues after a win

    Understand who still plays and when the hand ends.

    Win once, then watch. The whole hand ends after three winners or wall exhaustion.

  9. Fan, points, and special shapes

    Read a result without memorizing every scoring pattern.

    Discard win: base value. Self-draw: base + 1 from each active opponent.

  10. When the wall runs out

    Understand the final settlement and start a gentle first game.

    Clear your missing suit and try to be ready before the wall is exhausted.

  11. Your first Sichuan guided hand

    Exchange, choose a missing suit, discard, win and let play continue.
