At the mahjong table, Hu Pai is only half of the victory, and counting is the key to determining revenue. Many novice players are often in a hurry after playing games and don't know "how to look at the yardage of mahjong playing games", which leads to incorrect calculation of the yardage and even controversy. In fact, yardage calculation is not complicated. As long as you master the basic rules and common card types, you can easily deal with it. This article will give you a detailed breakdown of the yardage calculation method after Mahjong tiles, allowing you to change from a novice to a veteran.

1. The basic concept of Mahjong code number

In most mahjong games, the yardage refers to the score or multiple calculated based on the card type and rules after the card is played. Mahjong rules vary slightly in different regions, but the core logic is similar:The higher the yardage, the greater the profit of Hu Pai。Generally, the yardage consists of base points, multiples and extra rewards. The base points are fixed basic points for each game, and the number of times is doubled according to the type of Hu card. Additional rewards may include special circumstances such as self-touching and blooming on the bar.

1. Relationship between base fraction and number

The base score is the starting point for calculating the number of codes, such as the common base score of 1 or 10 points. The number of times is the number of times doubled. For example,"one time" is the base point multiplied by 2,"two times" is multiplied by 4, and so on. Therefore,Understanding the number is the key to code calculation。

2. Examples of common Japanese types

  • pinghu: The most basic Hu card is usually 0 or 1.
  • Dui Dui: All cuts or bars, usually 1-2 characters.
  • exclusively: Same color, usually 3-4.
  • seven pairs: Seven pairs, usually 2-3 pairs.
  • flower on the bar: Make up the card behind the bar, add extra times.

2. How to look at the number of Mahjong Hu yards: Specific steps

When you have a card, you can follow the following steps to calculate the yardage:

  1. Determine base score: According to the agreement, the bottom score may be 1, 5, or 10.
  2. count the number: Compare card types and add up all the plays. For example, uniform color (3)+ paired color (1)= 4.
  3. Calculate multiple: The number corresponding to the number of times is the number of times 2. For example, 4 times is 2^4=16 times.
  4. Number of codes obtained: Base score × multiple = final code number. If the base score is 1 point, the code number is 16 points.
  5. Plus extra rewards: For example, add the bottom by yourself, add the corresponding score or number of times according to the rules.

For example: the base score is 1 point, the Hu card is uniform (3 strokes)+ self-touching (plus 1 stroke), the total number of strokes is 4 strokes, the multiple is 16, and the yardage =1×16=16 points. If there are still flowers on the bar, add one more time, the total number is 5 times, the multiple is 32, and the yardage is 32 points.

3. Differences in code numbers in different regions

There are many ways to play Mahjong, and the yardage rules are also different. Understanding the rules in your area is crucial.

1. Guangdong Mahjong

Guangdong mahjong is usually based on "chicken beard", has a variety of styles and is relatively complex to calculate the yardage. For example, chicken hu is 0 times, flat hu is 1 times, damphu is 3 times, uniform 5 times, etc. In addition, Guangdong Mahjong also has the concept of "horse", that is, extra points will be added after winning the horse.

2. Sichuan Mahjong

Sichuan Mahjong is popular in "bloody battles to the end". The calculation of the yardage is relatively simple. It is usually based on "fan" as the unit, with a fixed base, and the number of fan directly corresponds to the multiple. For example, basic Hu 1, pairs Hu 2, uniform Hu 3, seven pairs 3, etc.

3. National standard Mahjong

The national standard mahjong uses 81 varieties, and the calculation of yardage is the most complex, but it is commonly used in competitions. Each fan has a fixed score. After the card is played, all fan scores are accumulated and converted into yardage.

4. Practical skills: quick code calculation

In real life, quick coding gives you a psychological advantage. The following tips will help you speed up:

  • memorize common styles: Be familiar with the number of common fan styles by heart, such as uniform 3 fans, seven pairs of 2 fans, etc.
  • Use multiple tables: Make or remember a power table of 2, such as 2^1=2, 2^2=4, 2^3=8, 2^4=16, 2^5=32, etc.
  • First count Da Fan, then count Xiao Fan: Give priority to high-end card types to avoid omissions.
  • Pay attention to special rules: Such as self-touching and adding characters, blooming on bars, etc., these often affect the final yardage.

5. Common misunderstandings and matters needing attention

Many novices easily make the following mistakes when calculating code:

  • Confounding the number and the multiple: The number of times is the number of times doubled, and the multiple is the number of times 2. Do not multiply it directly.
  • Ignore the bottom line: The base score is different, and the final yardage varies greatly. Be sure to confirm the base score.
  • Missing special rewards: self-touch, flowering on the bar, grab the bar, etc. have extra points, do not miss.
  • Confusion of regional rules: Different regions have different rules, so do not apply algorithms from other regions.

In short, mastering "how to look at the yardage of mahjong" requires a combination of theory and practice. Play more and calculate more. Naturally, practice makes perfect. I hope this article can help you clear your thoughts and be more confident at the table.
