  • You and the computer each start with ten tiles. On your turn you draw one tile, then discard one.
  • Complete three sets — three of a kind or three in a row — plus one pair to win. That is eleven tiles in all.
  • When the computer discards a tile you already hold twice, press Pung to claim it. Two tiles that run in sequence can be claimed with Chow.
  • A claim replaces your draw, so after claiming you must discard straight away.
  • If the wall runs out before either side completes a hand, the round is a draw.

Frequently asked questions

How many tiles do I need to win?

Eleven: three sets of three plus one pair.

What is the difference between pung and chow?

A pung is three identical tiles. A chow is three tiles of the same suit in sequence, such as 4-5-6 of bamboo.

Can I claim any discard?

You can claim a discard when you already hold the tiles needed to complete a set with it. Otherwise you pass and play continues.
