    I heard seven pairs come from USA. I heard some place in Japan it was called « America » when they adopted this hands.
    Also many regional rules among china (especially where people start to play mahjong very early) doesn’t recognize this hand.
    Also It doesn’t look like any other 4*3+2 structures.
    About nine gates, shall we mention that many people are kind of scared of this hand because it will burn down all your luck or some years of your life 😅.

    Awesome! Best comprehensive how to play and score HK mahjong videos. Rekindled childhood memories. I have shared them with families. Questions: Self draw - everyone pays the winner, while a player who discarded the winning tile only pays the winner correct? What is the scoring rule when a player (player A) discarded a tile that helps another player (player B) to make either 9 tiles or 12 tiles showing then later self draw for the win? Does player A pay for everyone? Thank you

    • @MahjongSparrow
      @MahjongSparrow  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks! And to your question - Yes, especially for 12 shown tiles, if you would like to play with penalties.

    Awesome video. Does Hong Kong scoring use any knitted or knitted + honors hands? Those took me by surprise when playing mainland competition scoring.

  • @enochliu8316

    I think you can only rob a Gong if the player is completing a Pung, not when a player declares a closed Gong.

  • @T-cx9mw
    @T-cx9mw 6 месяцев назад

    This video is excellent! So clear and easy to follow, thank you! I had a question - if no one has a winning hand by the time you reach the dead wall, is the round over? Or can you draw the tiles from the dead wall?

    • @MahjongSparrow
      @MahjongSparrow  6 месяцев назад

      So this depends on house rules. We usually play until the very last wall tile and discard, and if no one wins by then, it is a draw game and the dealership moves on.

    I got lost at the wind directions. Why don't they correspond to a typical compass?

    • @MahjongSparrow
      @MahjongSparrow  6 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, the Winds can be confusing, best not to think of them relating to a traditional Western compass. Your Seat Wind is always relative to the dealer. The dealer is always East; if you follow the dealer, you are always South; if you are across from the dealer, you are always West; and if you're left of the dealer, you are always North. Hope this helps!

    • @djYuz
      @djYuz 6 месяцев назад +1

      The way I heard it explained is that in Chinese culture the order of directions from first to last is East, South, West, North (compared to the order North, South, East, West that is used in Western culture.) Then you’re just applying each direction counterclockwise from the dealer around the table. It won’t match up with true compass directions so don’t worry too much about it.

      I don't know if it's true but it can kinda make sense. I think I read in a book somewhere where it may have been considered a "heavenly" game. So the explanation I got was that if you were laying on your back looking up at the sky the directions make sense.

  • @patf9482

    Thank for clear video explanation of the points sytem for the resppective winning combinations. However I am a bit puzzled with the below basic winning combination points
    The first video link awards 1 point and the second awards 0 for the same winning tiles.
    ruclips.net/video/qVQyV7OMWdA/видео.html
    ruclips.net/video/qVQyV7OMWdA/видео.html
    Please can you clarify the point differences in the two video clips links. Both video clip show the same set of winning tiles which are all consective triplets without any honor tiles

    • @MahjongSparrow
      @MahjongSparrow  6 месяцев назад

      So it's important to understand that all the points referenced are added points, and not absolute values, hence why there is always a + sign before each point reference. The Common hand in question from your 2 links is a combination of +1 for structure, and +0 for suit, therefore the total for such a hand in this instance would be 1 point. Remember, points are always cumulative. Hope this helps.
