Mahjong Drop is a game where you make melds (combinations) of three tiles to score. The three tiles must be together either horizontally or vertically.
Mahjong Drop uses a standard mahjong tile set, without the honor tiles. There are three suits (bamboo, wheel, and character) and each suit has a value from 1 to 9. There are four tiles for each suit/value combination. Once all tiles are used, a new bag of tiles is generated and shuffled and added to the queue of upcoming tiles.
There are two types of melds in Mahjong Drop.
Chi – Three tiles of the same suit in sequence of value, but the tiles don’t have to be in order.
- Example: bamboo 3, bamboo 4, bamboo 5
- Example: wheel 8, wheel 6, wheel 7
Pon – The same three tiles together.
- Example: character 1, character 1, character 1
- Example: bamboo 8, bamboo 8, bamboo 8
