All Terminals (清老頭 / 混老頭)
Only 1s and 9s
ALL TERMINALS: Every tile is a 1 or 9 (the ends of each suit).
There are two versions:
PURE TERMINALS (清老頭 / Chinroutou):
• Only 1s and 9s of suits
• No honor tiles
MIXED TERMINALS (混老頭 / Honroutou):
• 1s, 9s, AND honor tiles
• No 2-8 tiles
Example (Pure):
• Pung of 1-Dots
• Pung of 9-Dots
• Pung of 1-Bamboo
• Kong of 9-Characters
• Pair of 9-Bamboo
This hand is very hard because:
• Only 6 tile types exist (1s and 9s of 3 suits)
• You need multiple copies of each
• Everyone wants terminal tiles!
