Mahjong is a game that entails four players. At the start of the game, a player is the dealer. The meaning of the dealer lies in that he can have 14 tiles, while other players can only have 13 ones.The game is over after each of the four players has acted as the dealer in turn for four times.
The purpose of Mahjong is to gather together four sequences or triplets with 14 tiles, plus a couple of pairs (few special points are not composed of sequences and triplets, see the introduction about points below). Each sequence or triplet is composed of three tiles, while the pair of two same tiles. The so-called sequence consists of three tiles of consecutive numbers, such as Character Three, Character Four and Character Five, while the so-called triplet of three same tiles. The one that first gathers together four sequences or triplets and a couple of pairs (or special points) wins. The other three must give the winner money in different amounts according to points.
At the start of the game, the dealer discards the most useless tile, while all other three players are entitled to have the discarded tile. The dealer’s opponent on the right (player on the right) has the right to chow, pong or kong that tile, while the other two players can only pong or kong it. To chow means that if you want to gather together a sequence, and you already have two tiles of the sequence, for example, you already have Bamboo Four and Bamboo Five, while your opponent on the left happens to discard Bamboo Three, you can chow it to gather together a sequence. To pong means that if you want to gather together a triplet, and you already have two tiles of the triplet, for instance, you have had two tiles of Dot Nine, you can pong if anyone discards Dot Nine. To kong means that if you already have a closed triplet, say, you already have three tiles of Character Five, you can kong if anyone discards Character Five. If the players want to chow, pong and kong at the same time, the one wanting to pong or kong has the priority. Anyone that chows, pongs or kongs must expose the tiles chowed, ponged or konged without making any change. If one discards a tile, but nobody chows, pongs or kongs, the opponent on the right can withdraw a tile from the stack, which is called drawing. There is another situation of kong:if you have an triplet(exposed or closed), say, you already have three tiles of Dragon Green but you draw a tile of Dragon Green when drawing, you can also kong. The player konging tiles must withdraw a tile from the end of the stack. Of course, no matter whether you chow, pong or draw, you must discard a tile after the action to maintain 13 tiles.
After the tiles in your hand are all useful and you only need the fourteenth one to win, and now you are in the stage of ready hand. For example, you have gathered together three sequences, a triplet and a tile of East Wind, you can declare a win if anyone discards or you self-draw a tile of East Wind (you have to gather together special tiles in case of winning special points). In many cases, you can wait for more than one necessary tile, which will grant you more opportunities to win. For example, if you have gathered together two sequences, a triplet and a couple of pairs, and there remains an incomplete sequence of Character Two and Character Three, you may wait for Character One or Character Four to win.

Pros and cons of mahjong 13 tiles · no ad app for iPhone and iPad

mahjong 13 tiles · no ad app good for

A very enjoyable game of real mahjong (not tile matching). Beautiful graphics. The tiles look so real.
This is an outstanding game that mimics a real life game. Please add some of the traditional scores such as 2,5,8 kiang, Shuang lung bau, etc.
While it took a bit of time to read and understand the rules, once you have a basic grasp of the numbers and symbols, its fairly easy to practice and learn the game itself. Its a great trainer for honing your skills as well. I wish there was a long term statistics dashboard to show how you do over rounds.
This app is the best app for playing real mahjong. So far, hasnt crashed. Thanks Qiyong Li!
Thrilled that there is an English version of Chinese Mah Jong! Loving it!
You must self draw the last tile to win 7 pairs. It wont offer the option to win if the required last tile for seven pairs is discarded by another player

Some bad moments

I always wanted to learn to play, but no one around to teach me. I was so happy to find this game and in English! I even managed to win a few rounds the first night!!!
Great app but I am fine with the regular version. I didnt think that you would have to buy coins with the VIP version. Can you refund my purchase and I will just stick to the regular version and buy coins through that?
By far this is the best mah jong game I have found! The graphics is good could be a little bigger and clearer. Like the six crak and nine bam. Great tutorial as you play. The price was good. The only thing I dont like is the "whistle" sound at the end because I have to play in silence. People around me may not mind the sound of player but not much to the "whistle"sound each time. Sound like a alarm clock. Thank you so much creating this game! God bless!
Even when your card is mahjong it wont let you. It will let you pong or chow even its complete. Its not accurate. Very frustrating. I dont recommend it.
For those looking to play real mahjong, this is the way to go. All those other ones with making mountains or whatever are not it. This just needs a way to play others and it would get 5 stars.
With the new IOS7, some functions are not functioning properly. For example, seven pair is no longer a complete hand, whether a discard or self-draw. The developer should consider updating the app.
