Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. 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.
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
