Analysis
Written by an AI model from the sources above. It is a reading of them, not a source in its own right: every figure in it points back to a numbered source, and where the two disagree, the source is right.
Assessment
- Confidence
- single-informant the whole entry rests on one report from one person
- Evidence
- single-source only one source was found; nothing independent confirms it
Cross-comparison
What each source was read to say, set side by side. The numbers are the sources above.
| Source | Tiles | Hand | Flowers | Scoring | Payout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [1] | 124 (3 suits, 4 winds, no dragons) | 13, out on 14 | none; winds treated as flower tiles and replaced when acquired; a wild tile from the back of the wall serves as joker | contributor Chris Jacques: 'The scoring system is beyond me' | — |
- [1] Sloperama separately records that Dragon Chang says a style similar to Filipino is played in Fuzhou (Fukien)
Reading it
124 tiles, winds as flowers and a wild tile as joker match the chart exactly. But it rests on one contributor who says openly that he does not understand the scoring, and the Fuzhou entry on the same page appears to have borrowed this description. Treat the tile count as the only firm part.

Descends from Mainland regionals, as the source chart draws it.
