Understand the aim
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The steps to play
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
