This game plays '''Hong Kong Old Style''' mahjong. Its scoring is not the Chinese Official (MCR) fan list that ships with many mahjong sets: hands are counted in '''Faan''' from 0 to 13, and many MCR hands (Seven Pairs, All Green, Knitted Straight, ...) don't exist here.

== Winning hand ==
A winning hand (''Sik Wu'') is four Sets plus one pair, the '''Eyes''':
* '''Chow''': three consecutive tiles of one suit.
* '''Pung''': three identical tiles.
* '''Kong''': four identical tiles, declared as one Set (you then take a Replacement draw).

Thirteen Orphans is the only winning hand with a different shape.

A hand must be worth at least the table's '''Minimum Faan''' to win: '''3 Faan''' by default, or no minimum at a beginner table. Faan from Bonus tiles count toward the minimum. Small and Great Flower hands win regardless of the minimum.

== Counting Faan ==
# '''Add everything.''' Every element the hand meets adds its Faan, including elements implied by another one (Small Dragons also scores its two Dragon Pungs).
# '''Limit hands pay flat.''' A 10- or 13-Faan limit hand scores exactly its limit. Nothing else is added. A hand that is both a 10- and a 13-Faan limit hand scores 13.
# '''Cap.''' The total is capped at 13.
# '''Best reading.''' If the hand splits into Sets in more than one way, the split worth the most Faan counts.

When a hand ends, the game shows each element with its Faan, the total, and who paid what.

|}

Not in this game: Seven Pairs, the Jade, Ruby and Pearl Dragon hands, and the Hand of Man (人糊).

=== Examples ===
* Four Chows and Eyes, won by Self-draw, holding your own-seat Season: Common hand 1 + Self-draw 1 + Own-seat Season 1 = '''3 Faan'''.
* Three Dragon Pungs, a Chow and Eyes, won on a discard: Great Dragons 5 + three Dragon Pungs 3 = '''8 Faan'''.
* Great Winds won by Self-draw with an own-seat Flower: '''13 Faan''', nothing added.
* Three Chows, one claimed Pung of 6 Characters, Eyes of South, as West in an East Round, holding Bonus tiles: no element at all, '''0 Faan'''. It can't win at a 3-Faan table.

== Payment ==
The capped Faan total gives the hand's '''base points''' (''b''):
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Faan !! 0 !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! 6 !! 7 !! 8 !! 9 !! 10 !! 11 !! 12 !! 13
|-
! b
| 1 || 2 || 4 || 8 || 16 || 24 || 32 || 48 || 64 || 96 || 128 || 192 || 256 || 384
|}

{| class="wikitable"
! How the hand is won !! Who pays !! Winner receives
|-
| Self-draw || Each of the other three pays 2b || 6b
|-
| Discard win || The Discarder pays 2b, the other two pay b each || 4b
|-
| Robbing the Kong || The Kong-maker alone pays 6b || 6b
|}

Example, 3 Faan (b = 8): a Self-draw collects 16 from each player (+48). A Discard win collects 16 from the Discarder and 8 from each of the other two (+32). Robbing the Kong collects 48 from the Kong-maker alone (+48).

* The Dealer pays and receives like everyone else.
* A Draw (Wall exhausted, nobody wins) moves no points.
* Everyone starts with '''10,000''' points. Nobody is knocked out; a score below zero keeps playing.

== Game end and ranking ==
The Dealer (East) keeps the seat after winning. After anyone else wins, or after a Draw, the deal passes counter-clockwise to South. A Round ends once every player has dealt. The table chooses one Round (East), two (East, South) or a full game of four. Players are ranked by score; ties go to the player who won more Hands, then to the one who scored more Faan over the game.
