The primary goal in Mahjong is to win by forming a complete hand, usually consisting of four sets and a pair. A set can be a Pong (three identical tiles), a Chow (a sequence of three tiles), or a Kong (four identical tiles).
A 'Chow' is a sequence of three consecutive tiles, such as 2, 3, and 4 of the same suit. It is an essential set in forming a winning hand in Mahjong.
Pong and Kong are valid Mahjong sets, consisting of three or four identical tiles, respectively. 'Zong' is not a recognized Mahjong set.
Going 'Mahjong' means to declare a win by revealing a completed hand. This marks the end of the round for the winning player.
'Bonus' tiles, including Flower and Season tiles, do not contribute to sets but add extra points to the hand, enhancing the player's score.
The 'Wall' refers to the stacks of tiles that are left face down at the center of the table. Players draw from the Wall to replenish their hands.
'Pong' is a set in Mahjong that consists of three identical tiles. It is one of the main components in creating a winning hand.
The 'East Wind' player serves as the dealer, starting each round by drawing tiles first and having a slight strategic advantage.
Dora indicators are used to determine bonus points for specific tiles in the player's hand, increasing the potential score of that hand.
'Yamicha' refers to a penalty game played after a tie or error is detected. It is sometimes used as a solution to unresolved game results.
