What counts as success
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- 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.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
An example to follow
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
