How it differs from Singapore
- 144 tiles with the flowers worth one point each, and no dead wall: the hand is played to the last tile.
- Eighty-one fans, from one point to eighty-eight, and a hand needs eight points from them to go out.
- A fan that another counted fan already contains is not counted again, and a set is read into one combination only.
- On a self-draw each player gives eight plus the hand’s points; on a discard the discarder gives eight plus the points and the other two give eight each.
- The deal moves on after every hand, win or draw: sixteen hands over four winds.

Rules at this table
Four players, 144 tiles: the three suits, winds and dragons, and eight flowers and seasons worth one point each, set aside and replaced from the back of the wall. Play moves anticlockwise and the wall is played to its last tile.
The aim
Four sets and a pair (or seven pairs, the thirteen orphans, or the honours-and-knitted hands) worth at least 8 points from the fans below, flowers not counted. A fan that another counted fan already contains is not counted again, a set is read into one combination only, and an edge, closed or single wait counts only when the winning tile cannot be read another way. A hand with no fan at all is a chicken hand worth 8.
