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
- catalogued listed in a variant catalogue with tile counts and hand sizes, but no rules text verified
- Evidence
- corroborated two or more independent sources agree on the facts that define this variant
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] | 144 | 10, out on 11 | 8 flowers/seasons | 20 for Out, then points for pongs/kongs/pairs, then double | — |
- [1] similar to Western but with fewer tiles in the hand; this is what the chart means by an 11-tile winning hand
Reading it
144 tiles with a 10-tile hand winning on 11 confirms the chart's 11-tile winning hand precisely, and the source identifies it as Western-like but with fewer tiles in hand, which supports its placement under the Western branch.
