Examples of combined points
If the player collected Pong from red dragons and Chi from bamboos, then his total score will be:
- 6 points (Pong) + 8 points (Red Dragon) + 6 points (Chi) = 20 points.
- If the player completes the game with Mahjong by collecting all his tiles by himself (closed mahjong) and adds the Season tile, then he will receive:
- 20 points (Mahjong) + 30 points (closed mahjong) + 4 points (Season) = 54 points.
Points for discard
- If a player takes a tile from another player’s discard pile to complete their combo, they can receive additional bonuses for “quick completion”:
- Bonus for completing via discard - 3 points.
Impact on rounds
- Completing a round: When a player completes a round, they receive additional points depending on how many tiles in their hand were unused.
- Every unused tile in their hand - minus 1 point.
