All Terminals

清么九 · Ching Yiu Gau

16faan

Mahjiku's default value, from the patterns block of the shipped Hong Kong ruleset. Your table can price it differently; the engine reads whatever your rule set says.

What All Terminals means

Every set is a triplet of end tiles — only 1s and 9s, no 2-to-8 and no honours.

How to spot it. Nothing but 1s and 9s, all in triplets.

An example

What the engine scores that hand at

These are not illustrative numbers: the tiles above were passed to Mahjiku's scoring engine (won on a discard, with sets claimed from the table, seat wind North, round wind North) and this is the breakdown it returned.

Line the engine emitted	Faan
All Triplets對對糊	+6
All Terminals清么九	+16
Base底	+1
Total	23

The 16 faan for All Terminals is only part of it. The same tiles also satisfy All Triplets (+6) — patterns stack in Hong Kong scoring, which is why a hand named for one shape often pays a good deal more than that shape's own value.

What 23 faan actually pays

Faan is not the score by itself — it is the number the table turns into points, and Hong Kong tables do that two different ways. Both are shipped in Mahjiku; the additive model is the default.

Payout model	One payer owes	Self-draw 自摸	Discard 點炮
Additivefaan is the payout	23	+69	+23
半辣上half spicy	384	+1152	+384
全辣上full spicy	8192	+24576	+8192

Self-draw: all three opponents pay. Discard: only the player who threw the tile pays. Both columns are the winner's gain, straight out of the app's settlement function.

Worth knowing. Both doubling tables stop at 13 faan, so this 23-faan hand is paid at the 13-faan row — 384 points under 半辣上 and 8192 under 全辣上. Everything above 13 faan pays the same. The additive model has no ceiling, so there the extra faan still count.
