CHOW (吃)
Three consecutive numbers
A CHOW is a sequence of three consecutive numbers in the same suit.
Examples:
• 1-2-3 of Dots ✓
• 4-5-6 of Bamboo ✓
• 7-8-9 of Characters ✓
Important rules:
• Must be the SAME suit (can't mix Dot + Bamboo)
• Must be CONSECUTIVE (3-4-5 works, 3-5-7 doesn't)
• Only works with SUIT tiles (Dots, Bamboo, Characters)
• Winds and Dragons CANNOT form Chows
Think of it like a straight in poker — sequential cards in the same suit.
