Build familiarity through play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

What counts as success

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

The playing sequence

  1. Play a tile matching either open chain end.
  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

Choosing and moving on screen

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Put the rules into context

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

An important reminder

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
