FAQ

Common questions about the rules and the game.

Can you chow in Sichuan mahjong?

No. Sichuan mahjong only allows pung and kong; runs come only from your own draws.

What do I do after I win?

Nothing. Your tiles are revealed and you watch the rest of the hand. If someone self-draws later, players who have already won don’t pay.

What if I don’t clear my void suit?

You cannot win while you hold a void-suit tile. If the wall runs out and you still have one, you are a flower pig and pay every player the capped amount.

What if several players can win on one discard?

They all win, and the discarder pays each of them. The discarder deals the next hand.

How does the not-ready check work?

When the wall runs out, every player who isn’t ready pays each ready player the biggest hand that player could win (hand patterns only, without bonuses such as self-draw).

Why can’t I tap some of my tiles?

You still hold tiles of your void suit, and the rules make you discard those first — so only they can be tapped.

Does the computer cheat?

No. The computer only sees its own tiles and what is on the table. The wall is shuffled once at the start of each hand and never touched again.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes, on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone, landscape gives the biggest tiles; the game pauses while you hold it upright and resumes when you turn it.
