| Total | 144 |
| Suits | Characters (萬), Bamboo (條), Dots (筒) — 1–9, four of each |
| Honours | Winds (E/S/W/N) and Dragons (Red/Green/White), four of each |
| Flowers | 4 flowers + 4 seasons (8 bonus tiles) |
| Jokers | none |
Standard 144-tile set; flowers are set aside as bonuses, not part of the hand.
A winning hand: Four sets (runs or triplets) plus a pair — 14 tiles on the winning tile.
Scoring: Each named hand and bonus is worth a number of faan; faan converts to points by an additive or a doubling scale.
| Unit | faan (番) |
| System | faan-counting |
| Minimum to win | a table minimum (commonly ~3 faan) is needed to win |
| Limit | a limit (滿糊) caps the biggest hands |
Who pays: Self-draw: all three opponents pay; discard: only the discarder pays. Points come from the faan total via the table’s payout model.
