Turn Flow

A visual overview of the standard turn, interruptions, and claiming too late.

Standard turn

yes no Draw from the wall Flower? Place flower open Replace from flower or kong wall Discard 1 tile Next player

This loop repeats as long as nobody claims the discard.

First turn of the jongh

PlayerStarting positionFirst action
East (jongh)14 tilesimmediately discard 1 tile
South, West, North13 tilesfirst draw, then discard

This quickly shows why the 1st turn differs from all following turns.

When a discard interrupts the turn

no tjok poeng kong straight Discard in the middle Claim? Next player draws Open winning hand Open poeng Open kong Next player only Discard 1 tile

When claiming too late is really too late

Discard Next action? Claim is taken Next player draws Discard is over Later call does not count

Quick reading rule

  • East opens by discarding.
  • A valid claim breaks the ordinary turn loop.
  • After a new draw or a taken straight, the previous discard is definitively over.
