How to play
- Use all 144 tiles. Each non-dealer starts with 16 tiles; East starts with 17 and makes the first discard.
- Reveal every Flower or Season immediately and draw a replacement. It remains outside your 16-tile hand and adds Tai when applicable.
- On your turn draw one tile and discard one. You may Chow from the left player, or Pung and Kong according to the claim order.
- Win with five melds and one pair, for a 17-tile hand. Self-draw and discard wins are both supported.
- Tai patterns add together for settlement. This Mahjong Hub beginner baseline allows a complete 0-Tai hand to win.
Strategy tips
- With 16 concealed tiles, retain several connected shapes early instead of committing to one wait too quickly.
- Flowers add value but do not repair a weak main hand; build the five-meld structure first.
- Kongs are more frequent in Taiwan Mahjong. Consider both the replacement draw and the information you reveal.
- Use 0-Tai mode to learn tempo; once comfortable, chase Tai only when it does not reduce your live waits.
- Check whether your Flower matches your seat, as seat Flowers can add an extra scoring bonus.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I hold 16 tiles instead of 13?
Taiwan Mahjong uses five melds plus one pair. Players normally hold 16 tiles and win after drawing or claiming the 17th.
Can a 0-Tai hand win here?
Yes. Mahjong Hub uses a relaxed 0-Tai baseline. Other Taiwan tables may require a minimum Tai, so this is shown clearly in the game settings.
