Among the many varieties of national standard mahjong,13 YaoIt is undoubtedly one of the most legendary and challenging top breeds. When someone at the table pushes down their hands and shouts "Mahjong 13 Yaohu"When it is often an amazing climax of the game. 131 not only requires extremely high luck, but also tests the player's accurate judgment and strategic adjustment of the game. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the 13th card type composition, card conditions, practical skills and combinations with other cards to help you get closer to this "Tianhu" at the table.

What is 13? Card type composition and card conditions

1311, also known as the "Thirteenth 111" or "Unparalleled National Talents", is a top 88-fold national mahjong. Its card type consists of one card for each of 13 types of 19 cards, including:

  • 6 types of sign: one for each of east, south, west, north, middle, hair and white;
  • There are 7 types of old man cards: 10,000, 90,000, one barrel, nine barrel, one barrel, and nine barrel, one card each.

These 13 cards are put together, and they are exactly 13 different 19 cards. When dealing with Hu cards, you need to find any 19 card (i.e. any of the above 13 cards) as a trump card based on these 13 cards, forming a 14-card type of "one card for each of the 13 19 cards + any 19 card". For example, if you already have one in each of 12 types of 19 cards in your hand and lack the "east wind", then when you touch it or someone else plays the "east wind", you can play the card. At this time, the card type is one for each of the 13 types of 19 cards, plus an "east wind" as a trump card.

It should be noted that the method of playing cards in the 13th century can be self-touching or shooting. But no matter which method, the card type must strictly meet the above conditions, and there must be no duplicate 19 cards (except for the extra trump card). In addition, you cannot eat, touch, or stick the 13 - 19 cards, because once you eat and touch the stick, the card type will be destroyed, and it is impossible to form 13 different 19 cards.

The difficulty and value of 13: Why is it the top breed?

The reason why 1311 is designated as the top fan of the 88th fan is because it is extremely difficult to form cards. First, you need to collect 13 different 19 cards, which means that in the game, you must accurately retain each 19 card and give up all other middle cards. Secondly, since you can't eat and touch, you can only rely on yourself to draw cards to gather the cards, which greatly increases the uncertainty. According to statistics, in ordinary poker games, the probability of 131 is extremely low, and many mahjong enthusiasts may not be able to play it once in their lives.

However, once the cards are won, the benefits brought by the 13th will also be huge. In the national standard mahjong, 88 times is the highest number, and 131 times, as the representative, can often directly determine the outcome of a game. In addition, 1311 can also be combined with other styles, such as "self-touching","door clearing","no asking for help","single fishing master", etc., to further increase the number of times. For example, if you play 13yrs by yourself, and the card type is door clear (without eating and touching the bar), you can add "self-touching" 1 time,"door clear" 2 times,"not asking for help" 4 times, etc. The total number of times may exceed 100 times, which can be called a "nuclear bomb" in the game.

Practical skills: How to move towards 13th?

Although 1311 relies heavily on luck, reasonable strategies can increase your chances of success. Here are some practical skills:

1. Start to judge: Is there a prototype of 131?

Among the starting 13 cards, if the number of 19 cards reaches more than 9 and the types are relatively scattered (for example, there are 6 different 19 cards), you can consider developing in the direction of 13 cards. If you only have less than 5 19 cards at the beginning, it is not recommended to force your hand to play 13 19 cards, because the probability is too low and may easily lead to the game losing control.

2. Retention strategy: Decisively give up the winning card

Once you decide to do the 13th, you must decisively give up all the middle cards (20,000 to 80,000, 2,000 to 8,000, and 2,000 to 8,000) and keep only the 19th cards and cards. When playing cards, give priority to playing the middle cards, especially those that are easy to be eaten and touched, to reduce the opponent's chances of scoring. At the same time, pay attention to the 19th cards that have appeared in the card pool. If 3 or more of a certain 19th cards have appeared, then the possibility of you gathering 13th cards will be greatly reduced. At this time, you should consider whether to give up.

3. Defense and Confusion: Concealing Intention

When playing 13th, your card shape will be very obvious-because you have been playing the middle card and keeping the 19th card. This can easily be detected by opponents and targeted. Therefore, when playing cards, you can appropriately reserve some useless middle cards to delay the exposure of intentions. At the same time, pay attention to the opponent's play. If the opponent is also playing a large number of middle cards, he may also be playing a 13th or similar big card, so you should be more cautious at this time.

4. Selection of cards: The wisdom of single anglers

When your 13 cards have collected 12 types of 19 cards, and you are only one more card away, you will enter the listening state. At this moment, you are listening to the last type of nineteen-card. Since the 13 - 1 trump card can be any type of 19 cards, you are actually listening to any of the 13 cards, but the premise is that you must have 12 different 19 cards in your hand. For example, if you already have 12 types of 19 cards in your hand and lack the "nine drums", then you are listening to the "nine drums". If 2 "nine cylinders" have appeared in the card pool at this time, the probability of your winning cards will decrease. Therefore, when listening to cards, try to choose as few 19 cards that appear in the card pool as the listening slot.

Combination and scoring of 13th Yao and other exotic species

In national standard mahjong, 130s can be combined with other varieties to obtain higher numbers. Common combinations include:

  • self-drawn: Increase the card you touch the Hu card by 1.
  • knowledgeable: If you don't eat, touch, or expose, add twice.
  • not asking for people: Touch yourself and clear door, add 4 times.
  • Single fisherman: When listening, only one trump card is fished and added 1 times.
  • Bianzhang: If you listen to side Zhang (such as 10,000, 90,000, etc.), add 1.
  • Juezhang: If 3 cards have appeared in the pool and you have the last card, add 4 times.

It should be noted that the 1311 itself already contains some of the characteristics of other varieties such as "mixed one-nine" and "one color", but in the national standard mahjong, the 1311 does not repeat scores with these varieties. Specific scoring rules may vary by region or platform, so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with local rules before actual combat.
