Something to practise
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
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.
