During the past few years of the epidemic, people have spent more time at home, and everyone has become a mahjong master, and many people have slowly started to study other mahjong games, and Taiwanese mahjong is also a hot topic recently. Taiwan mahjong is a common 16-card mahjong game. The score is calculated by fan number. It was transformed from Fujian mahjong in the early 20th century. Over time, Taiwan mahjong has become unique. What are the rules of 16-card mahjong in Taiwan? When do you call for a touch? What is the definition of a winning hand? This article sorts out the basic rules and gameplay of Mahjong for everyone.
Taiwan mahjong suits and basic rules
A mahjong set has 144 cards in total, including 136 basic cards and flower cards (spring, summer, autumn, winter, plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum), and the basic cards refer to 10,000-90,000, 1-9 , 1-9 tubes, middle hair white and four cards each in the southeast and northwest. In fact, different countries have different ways of playing mahjong and the number of cards. However, in Taiwan, the main way of playing is 16 cards, which means that each player has 16 cards. One card, let yourself maintain the state of 16 cards. If there are more than 16 or less than 16 cards, it is called "Xiangong", which means that there is no chance to "win" (win cards) in this round.
Mahjong shuffling method
After everyone is seated, all 144 cards will be shuffled face down, and then "stacking cards" will be carried out. Four people will stack the cards in front of themselves to form a 2*18 card wall. If there is a card ruler , the length of the cross section will be as long as the ruler. After each wall of cards is stacked, they are combined into a square, so Mahjong is also called "Battle of Square City".
Mahjong draw and draw
After the card wall is built, you can start playing cards. First, the Dongfeng position who has just drawn cards is the dealer and rolls 3 dice to decide which card wall starts to take cards. Remember that the principle is that the wind position, cards and cards are all based on throw The dice is 1, counting counterclockwise, that is:
-
When 5, 9, 13, and 17 points are thrown, the dealer starts to draw cards in front of himself.
-
When 6, 10, 14, and 18 points are thrown, the dealer starts to take cards in front of the next player (the player on the right).
-
When 3, 7, 11, and 15 points are thrown, the dealer starts to draw cards in front of the opponent.
-
When 4, 8, 12, and 16 points are thrown, the dealer's home (ie, the player on the left) starts to take cards in front of him.
After deciding which card wall to start taking cards, count from the right side of the card wall. For example, if you throw 5 points, count 5 stacks from the right side of the card wall in front of the dealer, and take the 6th and 7th stacks (that is, take four cards) and take turns counterclockwise, that is, the dealer takes cards from the next player, and each player takes two stacks (four cards) each time until each player has 16 cards, and finally the dealer takes more A card, called "open door".
Mahjong rules and gameplay
How is it a bullshit?
Before starting to introduce the rules and gameplay of Mahjong, let me introduce the most important "hands-on" in Mahjong. It can also be said that "hands-on" is the mahjong game that wins this round. If you want to win cards, you have to use the 16 cards in your hand + 1 newly drawn cards to make 5 pairs and 1 pair of eyes .
[pair example]
Pairs include straights and pungs.
-
Shunzi : consecutive numbers of the same suit, such as 3.45 million, 123 bars, and 789 barrels
-
Pung : the same number suit, for example: three 1 tube, three Dongfeng cards, three red middle cards, three 20,000 cards
Eyes are cards of the same suit and number, such as two west winds, two white skins, two nines, etc. During the mahjong process, players must try to make 5 sets of pairs and a pair of eyes from the cards in their hands. , you can call "Hu". If the cards are drawn by oneself, it is called "self-drawing", and the other three players lose. If it is because of the cards discarded by other players, the person who lost the cards is called "shooting", and only the player who loses the cards and shoots the gun is considered a loser.
So the main rule of mahjong is to throw a card from the dealer first, then draw a card from the next player sitting on his right, and then play a card, and so on in order, until one of the players "wins" or "fails". until. "Flow game" refers to the fact that after a player has repeatedly taken and discarded cards in turn, the last 8 stacks (16 cards) of cards are left as a flow game , which means a tie, and the dealer continues to make a row, also known as the bad dealer.
Mahjong eating tiles and touching tiles
When mahjong is in progress, each player can not only draw 5 sets of pairs and 1 set of eyes by drawing the cards in his hand, but also can form a winning hand pattern faster by eating and touching cards. .
【Eating card example】
-
If you have 10,000 and 20,000 in your hand, you only need 30,000 more to make a straight. At this time, if the previous player throws 30,000, you can "take the card".
-
If you have 3 and 4 in your hand, then you can make a straight with 5 and 2. At this time, if the player throws 5 and 2, you can "take the card".
After eating the cards, you can't draw any more cards. You have to throw out a card directly , otherwise there will be more than 16 cards. The three cards to be taken need to be spread out together on the table in front of you.
【Example of bumping cards】
-
You have 2 red cards in your hand. At this time, as long as any player plays a red card, you can call out "Peng", and put the red card played by that player on your table together with the 2 red cards in your hand. This is called hitting the cards.
Any player on the table can touch what they lose. In addition, when different players want to eat and touch cards at the same time, the player who calls out to touch the cards is given priority .
In fact, to put it simply, the most important feature of Taiwan mahjong is that it requires an extra set of cards to draw, so the difficulty will also increase, and it is more interesting to play than Cantonese cards.
