Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
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.
Step by step
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
