Style difference

What makes Taiwanese Mahjong different?

Taiwanese Mahjong is commonly played with a 16-tile hand that wins with a 17th tile. Players are usually building five sets and a pair, so the hand feels fuller than a 13-tile style and gives you more information to manage on every turn.

The exact scoring and house rules can vary. That is why the course teaches the version used at the table, then repeats it through live hands. You leave with a playable rhythm, not a stack of disconnected rules.

Mahjong styles and house rules vary. Neha teaches the class-table version and uses live hands to make the differences clear.
