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] | 108 (suit tiles only; no winds or dragons) | 13, out on 14 | none | — | winner only; discarder pays for all |
- [1] Hunan: 5 ways out, hand must include a pair of 2s/5s/8s else seven pairs or pure. Tibetan & Sichuan: no more than two suits, punging OK, chowing not permitted
Reading it
108 suit-only tiles match. The source is more precise than the chart in a useful way: Hunan and Tibetan/Sichuan are given different winning conditions, so this single node covers at least two distinct games.
