Kong

· Gong

1faan
Mahjiku's default value, from the bonus block of the shipped Hong Kong ruleset. Your table can price it differently; the engine reads whatever your rule set says.

What Kong means

A set of four identical tiles instead of the usual three. Each kong you make adds a point.

How to spot it. Four of the exact same tile, laid down together.

An example

5555

A worked hand

A kong of 1-characters inside an otherwise ordinary hand. Note the hand is 15 tiles long, not 14 — a kong sets a fourth tile aside, and that extra tile is how the engine knows a kong was declared at all.

Passed to Mahjiku's scoring engine (won on a discard, with sets claimed from the table, seat wind South, round wind West), that hand comes back as:

What 3 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.

半辣上half spicy8+24+8
全辣上full spicy8+24+8

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.
