Table Operations

During play, you can interact with discards in specific ways. Here's the priority order and how each operation works.

Priority: 🏆 Mahjong > 🔴 Kong > 🔵 Pung

When two players want the same tile, the higher priority wins.

① Seating Layout

4 players sit around the table and play in counter-clockwise order:

Position 2

Opposite

对家

Position 3

上家

You

YOU

你

Position 1

下家

Play order goes counter-clockwise: You → Next → Opposite → Previous → You

Take 3 consecutive tiles from the previous player (上家) only.

Example: holding take a → 2-3-4 sequence

Take a matching tile from any player.

Example: holding take a → 5-5-5 triplet

Take a fourth matching tile from any player.

Example: holding take a → 8-8-8-8 quad

Complete your hand with a tile from any player (or self-drawn).

Your hand matches the winning pattern: 4 sets + 1 pair.

⚠ Key Rule: CHI only works on tiles from the previous player (上家). PONG, KONG, and WIN work on tiles from any player.

You have all 4 in your hand. Keep them face-down, announce Kong, draw a replacement from the wall, then discard.

→ Draw from wall

You have 3, call the 4th from a discard. Flip all face-up.

← 北 (discard)

After you've already Pung'd a tile, you draw the 4th. Add it to your exposed set.

⚠️ This is the only Kong that can be robbed! If another player needs this tile to win, they can declare Mahjong and take it.

If robbed: The player who declared the Added Kong pays all three opponents' losses.

✅ Can only rob an Added Kong (when someone adds the 4th tile to their exposed Pung).
✅ Thirteen Orphans can also rob a Concealed Kong.
❌ Direct Kongs cannot be robbed.

💡 Robber wins immediately. The player who was adding the Kong pays all three opponents.
