Taiwanese Scoring Elements
| Taiwanese: | Overview | Gameplay | Scoring | Penalties & Errors | Resources |
|---|
Initial Points
- A limit of 300 points is often set (600 for the dealer).
- A minimum of five tai is common.
Criteria
The winning hand must have five sets and a pair with a minimum of five tai.
Outline
Win by self-drawn: All players pay the value of the winner’s hand.
Win by discard: The discarding player pays the value of the winner’s hand. If the discarded tile is claimed by more than one player, the discarder pays all the winners.
Dealer pays one extra tai upon losing but on the same token, gets paid one extra tai upon winning. In addition, the dealer receives two extra tai for each time he remains the dealer (and again pays two extra upon losing).
