Jokers
Jokers are distinctly used in American mahjong and may be used in Singaporian and Malaysian rules, in which upto 12 jokes may be used. In American Rules the joker tile is usually depicted with the word ‘joker’ written out. There are typically eight jokers in a set.
Joker tiles cannot be used as a pair or single. They can be used in pungs, kong… up to nine-folds.
