MatjokRulebook v1.5

Drawn Round

When a round ends without a winner because too few wall tiles remain.

A round does not always have to end with a winner. If the wall is used up too far, the round is drawn.

Main rule

As soon as only 14 tiles remain in the flower or kong wall, the game ends in a draw.

Consequence

There is then no ordinary winner of that round. The further consequences for jongh, prevailing wind, and settlement belong to the later chapters.

Extra rule

In addition:

  • if the jongh draws the last tile, the turn stays with the jongh
  • if another player draws the last tile, the turn passes on

This rule only gains practical weight once the chapters about rounds and settlement have also been added.

Quick check

  • An empty wall does not mean you keep playing.
  • The boundary is 14 remaining tiles in the flower or kong wall.
