The basics
Fan table
What every fan is worth, from no flowers and concealed hand to all pungs, one suit and the limit hands.
Every fan
This is the fan table the game uses — the same as most Hong Kong tables. In each family only the highest counts, and the total is capped at the limit (10 fan by default).

Easy fan
These are the most common; three fan usually come from them:
- No flowers (1): you drew no flowers all hand.
- Own flower (1 each): the flowers of your seat. East has Spring and Plum, South has Summer and Orchid, and so on.
- Concealed hand (1): no chow, pung or exposed kong (a concealed kong is fine).
- Self-drawn (1): you drew the winning tile yourself.
- All chows (1): all four sets are runs.
- Honour pungs (1 each): a pung of Red, Green or White, or of your seat or round wind. East in the East round scores both for East.
Big fan
Limit hands
Some hands are “limit hands”: they score the cap straight away with nothing else added — Thirteen Orphans, Nine Gates, Four concealed pungs, Four kongs, Great and Small four winds, All honours, All terminals, Heavenly, Earthly and Human hands, and the flower wins (All eight flowers, Seven flowers rob one).
Only the highest in a family
- Mixed one suit and pure one suit don’t stack; all honours is a limit hand.
- Dragon pungs, small three dragons and great three dragons: only the highest counts.
- Own flowers and flower sets: a full set of four scores the set, not its own flowers.
