Text explanation of mahjong is difficult⌠also Iâm in a game so I have to tab over to discard cause 5-second turn timers. Youâre dealt a hand of 14 tiles, your goal is to sort that hand into a valid winning one, consisting of 4 melds (a set of either 3 identical tiles, or a run of 3 consecutive numeric tiles in the same suit) and a pair. Each turn you draw a tile and discard a tile, you keep going until someone wins, then the handâs over. Thatâs the like extreme basics.

You can also call tiles off of other players - if someone discards a tile and you need it to complete a meld, you can take it, with some restrictions. You can always* call a tile if thatâs the last one you need to win; if you call your win off another playerâs discard, they have to pay out all the points for your winning hand. You donât wanna discard tiles other players need to win! Very scary stuff!
For non-winning tiles, you can call triplets off any player, but you can only call sequences off the player to your left. Remembering this doesnât really matter in online mahjong. Either you see the button or you donât.
If you call a tile, you have to place the meld itâs part of face-up next to you, and itâs âstuckâ there. You canât change a meld once youâve called it. Open hands - hands in which youâve made a call - are also worth fewer points, and in riichi mahjong, there are restrictions on what kinds of open hands you can win with.

Thatâs pretty much everything you need to know to play Hong Kong mahjong, aside from scoring, which you can kind of ignore at first - if youâre playing against beginners, you can just win first every round, and it doesnât matter how valuable their hands are, because theyâll never call them.
You cannot ignore scoring in riichi mahjong! Hand conditions which give extra points are called âyakuâ, and every single hand needs a yaku to be able to win.
Certain types of tiles are inherently yaku: a triplet of the red, green, or white dragons, or of the East* wind, or of your assigned seat wind (visible in front of you) are called yakuhai, and any hand containing them is valid to win. You can also get yaku by having all simples: only numbers 2-8 in your hand, no 1s, no 9s, no non-numbered (honour) tiles.
Aside from these, the easiest yaku to get is the titular mechanic of riichi mahjong, riichi. If you make no calls from other players, keeping your hand completely closed, and youâre 1 away from winning, you can declare âriichiâ, making a bet of 1000 points that youâll be able to win with the exact hand youâve got: no changing it around, just drawing and discarding until you win. Riichi is risky, because it locks you in to your exact current hand and announces to other players that youâre close to winning (so they should watch their discards), but it is inherently yaku and can increase the scoring value of your hand in various other ways.
