The goal to keep in mind

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.

Keep this in mind

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
