Mahjiku › Mahjong variants › Singaporean
· also called Singapore Mahjong, Singapore-style Mahjong Playable via custom rules
Singaporean mahjong plays much like Hong Kong mahjong with a 148-tile set (144 plus four unique animal bonus tiles) and doubling-based scoring whose minimum and limit vary by house rule.
| Total | 148 |
| Suits | Characters, Bamboo, Circles — 1–9, four of each |
| Honours | Winds (E/S/W/N) and Dragons (Red/Green/White), four of each |
| Flowers | 4 flowers + 4 seasons, plus 4 unique animal tiles (Cat, Rat, Rooster, Centipede) forming two predator-prey pairs |
| Jokers | none |
148 total = the standard 144-tile set plus 4 animal tiles unique to this variant.
A winning hand: Four sets plus a pair — 14 tiles on the winning tile, plus recognized special hands.
Scoring: Each qualifying condition doubles the payout; the exact minimum-to-win and limit are set by house rule and vary noticeably between published rule sets.
| Unit | fan/tai (doubling) |
| System | exponential doubling with a house-configurable minimum and limit |
| Minimum to win | varies by house rule — sources cite anywhere from 1 to 3 |
| Limit | commonly 5 fan by default, though house rules vary |
Who pays: Self-draw: all three opponents pay (dealer pays/receives double). Discard: house rules vary — some have only the discarder pay, others double the discarder's share.
In Mahjiku. Closest to Hong Kong — Mahjiku's custom house rules cover Singaporean-style doubling and values; the animal-tile bonuses aren't built in yet.
