Seat / Round Wind

門/圈風 · Mun / Hyun Fung

Seat / Round Wind (門/圈風 · Mun / Hyun Fung) is a Hong Kong mahjong scoring bonus: Three of the wind tile that matches your seat, or the wind of the current round. Other winds do not score. Mahjiku's default sheet prices it at 1 faan, and every win also carries the 1 faan base, so a hand whose only named line is Seat / Round Wind totals 2 faan. Payment follows the hand's whole faan total, not this line alone: under Mahjiku's default additive model the total is what each payer hands over — all three opponents on a self-draw (自摸), the discarder alone on a discard win (點炮), and since 2 faan is under the 3 faan minimum, Seat / Round Wind is a top-up rather than a hand of its own. Faan values are a table's own call; this is Mahjiku's shipped default, editable in House Rules.

How to spot Seat / Round Wind at the table

Three matching wind tiles that are “yours” — your seat wind or the round wind.

An example

A worked hand

Sitting East in the East round with a triplet of East — the one case where a single wind triplet is counted twice, once as your seat wind and once as the round wind.

Passed to Mahjiku's scoring engine (won on a discard, with sets claimed from the table, seat wind East, round wind East), 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.

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.
