A small practice goal

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The challenge in front of you

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

One way to understand the rules

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
