Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Follow these playing steps
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
