Scoring Restrictions
A valid hand must be worth at least 4 Points.
Four Restrictions when Calculating Points…
- A hand's combined total value cannot exceed the Limit (24 Points).
- If a higher value pattern/incidence infers one of a lower value, you cannot score for both.
- An individual tile can only be clustered/paired in one way.
- You cannot score the same pattern multiple times using any of the tiles multiple times..
Although the combined total score cannot exceed 24 Points, some patterns are extraordinary and score 36 Points.
The Payout
If the winner won by Self-draw, they receive their Points x2 from each opponent.
If the winner won by Discard, they receive their Points x4 from the discarder, and x1 from the other two opponents.
Multiple players can call "Mahjong" on a discard. Each winner gets paid x4 from the discarder and x1 from their 2 opponents. Here are two examples…
| A discarded the winning tile: B won with 5 Points, C won with 7 Points | A discarded the tile: B won with 5 pts, C won with 7 pts, D won with 4 pts | |||||||||
| Player A | Player B | Player C | Player D | Player A | Player B | Player C | Player D | |||
| Player A Pays | 20 | 28 | Player A Pays | 20 | 28 | 16 | ||||
| Player B Pays | 7 | Player B Pays | 7 | 4 | ||||||
| Player C Pays | 5 | Player C Pays | 5 | 4 | ||||||
| Player D Pays | 5 | 7 | Player D Pays | 5 | 7 | |||||
| A lost 48 points, B gained 23 points, C gained 27 points, D lost 12 points | A lost 60 points, B gained 20 points, C gained 34 points, D gained 12 points | |||||||||
Score Table
There are 56 total winning conditions.
The list is based the winning conditions found in a majority of Guangdong Style rulesets.
However, five common luck-based conditions were removed…
Blessing of Heaven, Blessing of Earth, Self-Drawn Win, Fully Concealed Hand, and Fully Exposed Hand.
Also, Tile Hog is used instead of 4 Into 2, 4 Into 3, and 4 Into 4.
Maximum: 24 counted, but extraordinary patterns are worth 36
