All Pungs & Suit Scoring
Big fan hands from tile patterns
Some hand patterns are worth significant fans on their own.
ALL PUNGS (3 fan)
When all 4 of your melds are pungs (or kongs) — no chows.
This is worth 3 fan. Combined with other bonuses, it can
quickly become a high-scoring hand.
MIXED ONE SUIT (3 fan)
All your tiles are from ONE numbered suit, mixed with honor tiles.
Example: All Characters + some Wind/Dragon tiles = 3 fan.
PURE ONE SUIT (7 fan)
ALL your tiles are from a single numbered suit — no honors at all.
This is very difficult but worth a massive 7 fan!
Example: All Bamboo, tiles 1-9 only. Nearly a limit hand.
SEVEN PAIRS (4 fan)
Instead of 4 sets + 1 pair, you have 7 distinct pairs.
A completely different hand structure worth 4 fan.
Scoring comparison:
• All Pungs: 3 fan = 64 points
• Mixed One Suit: 3 fan = 64 points
• Seven Pairs: 4 fan = 128 points
• Pure One Suit: 7 fan = 1,024 points
