Basic conditions for Changsha Mahjong Hu

In Changsha Mahjong, the basic card type of Hu cards is four pairs of straight or carved cards (three identical cards) plus a pair of generals, which is what we often call "4 faces +1 pair". But Changsha Mahjong has one distinctive feature:One must be missing, that is, the card in the hand cannot contain three suits: ten thousand, bar and tube at the same time. One of them must be missing to win the card. In addition, Changsha Mahjong is not allowed to take cards, only to touch and bar cards, which makes the game more variable and tests the player's strategy.

The Hu card methods of Changsha Mahjong are divided intoself-drawnandfireTwo. Self-drawing means that the player touches the necessary cards and plays them, while firing means that the cards played by other players are exactly the cards you need. In Changsha Mahjong, the benefits of self-touching are usually higher than that of firing shots, so many players prefer to wait for the opportunity to self-touch.

Special Hu brand types of Changsha Mahjong

In addition to the basic Hu card types, Changsha Mahjong also has some special Hu card types, which often bring higher scores. The following are a few common special card types:

  • Qixiaodui: Hu card type composed of seven pairs does not require face structure. Seven small pairs are a relatively common special card type in Changsha Mahjong, and the score is higher after playing.
  • exclusively: The cards in the hand are all composed of one suit and meet the basic Hu card structure. Qingyi is one of the highest-scoring cards in Changsha Mahjong, but it is also very difficult.
  • Pengpenhu: A Hu card type composed of four carved cards (or bars) and a pair of general cards, that is, all cards are touch cards or bar cards, and there are no straight cards.
  • flower on the bar: The cards the player touches after the card is just enough to play. This card playing method can often bring extra points.
  • for the moon: The player plays a card when he touches the last card. This situation is more common in the later stages of the game and requires a certain amount of luck and judgment.

It should be noted that there are some special restrictions in Changsha Mahjong, such asNo, the luxurious seven pairs in the middle of the seven pairs(i.e., four identical cards count as two pairs), andCan't be Hu 13thWait. These restrictions make Changsha Mahjong's Hu rules more stringent and increase the challenge of the game.

Changsha Mahjong Hupai Practical Skills

After mastering the basic rules of playing cards, how to improve playing cards in actual combat? Here are some practical tips:

1. Lack of reasonable planning

Since Changsha Mahjong must be missing one door, after starting hands, you need to decide which door to miss as soon as possible based on the color distribution of your hand. Generally speaking, it is wiser to choose the color with the fewest number and the least relevance as a missing spot. For example, if you only have one or two cards in your hand and they are not paired or smooth, then decisively lack ten thousand cards and focus on the combination of strips and cards.

2. Touch cards carefully and control the rhythm

Changsha Mahjong is not allowed to take cards, so touching cards is an important means to adjust the card type. But touching cards will also expose your card type, making it easier for opponents to judge the direction of your cards. Therefore, you must consider clearly before touching a card: Can a better card shape be formed after touching a card? Will it affect your strategy of missing one? If touching the cards makes your hand messy, it is better not to touch them.

3. Observe your opponent and speculate on the card type

In the game, always pay attention to the cards played by your opponents, especially the changes in the suit they play. If a player plays a certain suit of cards in a row, it is likely that he is missing the card or has already played. By observing your opponent's fold, you can speculate which cards are safe and which cards may be fired, and adjust your playing strategy.

4. Seize the opportunity to hold cards

Bar cards are a double-edged sword in Changsha Mahjong. Bar cards can increase points, but they can also destroy your card type and even provide opponents with the opportunity to bloom on the bar. Generally speaking, if you have already listened to the cards and the cards will not affect the cards, you can consider cards; if you are still in the card making stage, cards may disrupt your plan, so it is recommended to be cautious.

5. Flexibility to adjust the direction of card listening

Don't stubbornly wait for a certain card after listening to the cards, adjust flexibly according to the changes in the game. For example, if you are listening to side cards or inset cards, and there are already multiple cards in the pool, it is likely that it will be difficult to play, so you can consider changing to other card types at this time. In addition, if you find that your opponent may be playing a big card, you can give up Xiao Hu appropriately to avoid shooting and causing greater losses.

Common Misunderstandings of Changsha Mahjong and Hupai

Many novices easily fall into some misunderstandings when playing Changsha Mahjong, resulting in low poker rates. The following are some common misunderstandings and how to correct them:

  • Myth 1: Blind pursuit of big names。Some players are determined to make uniform or seven-small pairs, but the result is that they are often unable to play because of uneven card types. In fact, the score of Pinghu in Changsha Mahjong is not low, and stabilizing the poker is the key to long-term victory.
  • Myth 2: Ignoring the rule of absence。Forgetting a missing job is one of the most common mistakes made by novices. During the process of playing cards, always check whether the cards in your hand still meet the requirements for missing a card to avoid being unable to play cards due to negligence.
  • Myth 3: Excessive touch of cards。Although touching cards can speed up the formation of card shapes, it will also reduce the number of card touches and reduce the chance of self-touching. Moreover, after touching the cards, the number of cards in the hand decreases, and the adjustment space becomes smaller, making it easy to fall into a passive position.
  • Myth 4: Can't defend。Changsha Mahjong is not only an offensive game, defense is equally important. When your own card type is not good, you should consciously play the safety card and avoid shooting. Especially in the later stages of the game, you must play carefully.
