Taiwanese mahjong requires five sets and a pair. This 16-tile variant is popular in Taiwan and the Philippines.

Gameplay

Sets

During the game a player may call to complete any one of the following sets:

• Chow: Claimed from the player to your left or for mahjong.
• Pung: Claimed from any player.
• Kong: Claimed from any player. A replacement tile is drawn afterward.
• Concealed and Small Melded Kong: Announced only after drawing a tile (i.e. not after claiming a tile). A replacement tile is drawn afterward.
• Flower: Announced immediately. A replacement tile is drawn afterward.

Arrangement of Tiles

Concealed kongs are completely hidden. At the end of the hand the kong is revealed to all players.
