Fix the mistake: Mahjong

Tile Types and the Hand

In this lesson, you will learn about tile types and the hand, some of the most important concepts in mahjong. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain the system and reasons in your own words.

Key Point
Number tiles are manzu, pinzu, and souzu, while honor tiles are wind tiles and dragon tiles. Normally, a player draws one tile and discards one tile from a hand of 13 tiles.
Important Points
  • Check the reasons, not only the conclusion
  • Distinguish similar terms and exceptions
  • Try applying the same way of thinking to other examples

Practice

  1. Explain the key point in two sentences.
  2. Give one common misunderstanding and explain what is different.
  3. Check your understanding by applying it to a familiar or specific example.
