The challenge in front of you
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
An example to follow
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
