Something to practise
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
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.
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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
One way to understand the rules
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
