Hong Kong Mahjong Scoring |
Mahjong is a game that started in China. It involves four players, fascinating Chinese tiles, scoring and monetary value for the points yielded by individual players. There are variations in types of mahjong and these variations include their specified scoring.
The widely popular scoring system is the Traditional Hong Kong or the Cantonese scoring system. This kind of scoring is popular because the low criteria used can be easily achieved. Hands are formed to score fan (points/double). Zero-point hands are frequent. This is the reason why players are often stipulating on additional restrictions such as the winning hand must be of point value. The point value is often made between one and five points. The most common point though, is three.
Here is some basic scoring:
- Complete hand-0 fan
- 4 Chows in a hand-1 additional fan
- 4 Pungs and/or Kongs in a hand-3 additional fan
- 1 or 2 Dragon Pungs or Kongs-1 additional fan each
- A pair of Dragon Pung and another pair of Dragon-4 additional fan
- Pungs/Kongs of Winds that matches the round or seat-1 additional fan
- No Flowers/Season tile-1 additional fan
- Flowers/Season tile that matches seat value-1 additional fan each
- All Flowers/Season of a particular color-2 additional fan
- Win by self-drawn-1 additional fan
