Mahjong with Friends

There are four copies of each of 34 tile types: Characters, Bamboo and Dots 1–9; East, South, West, North winds; Red, Green and White dragons. No flowers or jokers.

1. All four guests press “I'm ready”. East begins with 14 tiles; everyone else has 13.
2. On your turn, select one tile and press “Discard selected tile”. The next player draws automatically after claims resolve.
3. A chow is three consecutive tiles in one suit; a pung is three identical tiles; a kong is four identical tiles. Claim a discard using the offered legal buttons, or pass. Only the next seat can chow. You have 15 seconds to claim.
4. Win with four sets and one pair. A kong counts as one set and gives a replacement draw. Press “Declare Mahjong” on a winning self draw or claim “Win” on a discard.

Scoring: self draw earns 6 points (each other player pays 2). Discard win earns 6 from the discarder. An exhausted wall is a draw with no points exchanged. No minimum fan, bonus patterns, special hands, robbing a kong or gambling. One hand per room; create a new room to play again.

Claims: win beats pung/kong, which beat chow. Equal claims go to the nearest seat after the discarder in East → South → West → North order. The server waits for eligible responses or the deadline, so network speed never chooses the winner.

Connection & privacy: multiplayer needs internet. Hands stay private until the result. Reconnection restores your seat on this tab. Idle rooms expire after 30 minutes; every room ends after 4 hours. A disconnected player's seat stays reserved; play can wait for them. Copying your invitation grants room access, not access to your hand.
