Mixed Triple Chow

三色同順 · Saam Sik Tung Seun

Mixed Triple Chow (三色同順 · Saam Sik Tung Seun) is a Hong Kong mahjong hand: The same run in all three suits — for example 2-3-4 of characters, 2-3-4 of dots and 2-3-4 of bamboo. Mahjiku's default sheet prices it at 6 faan, and every win also carries the 1 faan base, so a hand whose only named line is Mixed Triple Chow totals 7 faan. Under Mahjiku's default additive payout that 7 faan is the payment itself: the winner collects 21 points on a self-draw (自摸), when all three opponents pay 7 each, or 7 from the single player who discarded the winning tile (點炮). Faan values are a table's own call; this is Mahjiku's shipped default, editable in House Rules.

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.

The 6 faan for Mixed Triple Chow is only part of it. The same tiles also satisfy Ping Hu (+2) — 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 9 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.

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.
