Mixed Triple Chow

三色同順 · Saam Sik Tung Seun

6faan

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 Mixed Triple Chow means

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.

How to spot it. The very same ladder appearing once in each suit.

defines it

filler

The bright sets are the ones that make it Mixed Triple Chow; the faded sets are ordinary filler that any hand needs.

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
Ping Hu平和	+2
Mixed Triple Chow三色同順	+6
Base底	+1
Total	9

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.

Payout model	One payer owes	Self-draw 自摸	Discard 點炮
Additivefaan is the payout	9	+27	+9
半辣上half spicy	96	+288	+96
全辣上full spicy	512	+1536	+512

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.
