PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER
A pair. A pung.
A little lightbulb.
Two identical tiles make a pair, three a pung, and four a kong. Change the group below to see the difference, then explore joker substitutes.
SEE THE GROUP, LEARN THE NAME
Pung / 3 tiles
3 tiles in an identical group. Each tile has the same suit and value.
This illustrates group names and joker substitution, not a winning hand or permission to call a discard. Your current card must allow the group in that position. There are four natural copies of each numbered, wind, or dragon tile, so these quint and sextet examples need jokers.
Learn how groups fit the card ↗Based on NMJL joker guidance quoted by Mahj Life. Use the current official card for permitted winning hands.
