Table levels

Chapter 7 of 10 · 2 min

Every table has a level: the least fan a hand needs before you can win with it. You choose it when you start a table.

LevelTo win you need
ChickenAny complete hand. The place to start.
1 fanAt least one thing that scores.
2 fanTwo things that score, or one bigger one.
3 fanThe classic Hong Kong game.

Higher levels earn more: rank points count ×1 at Chicken up to ×4 at 3 fan. Start at Chicken and move up when winning feels easy.

Tips can show which tiles would finish your hand. They are on by default below 3 fan, and you can switch them on at 3 fan too.

Quick check

At a 3 fan table, can you win with a hand worth 2 fan?

Answer: No. Right. You need at least 3. The game will not offer the win until you have enough.
