As one of the most popular mahjong games in China, Guangdong Mahjong's rules have both commonality and uniqueness. Many novice players are often confused:How does Guangdong Mahjong become a fool?？In fact, as long as you master the basic card types, patterns and special rules, you can easily judge. This article will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the Hu card conditions of Guangdong Mahjong to help you get started quickly.

1. Basic conditions for Guangdong Mahjong

In Guangdong Mahjong, Hu cards (also known as "He cards") usually need to meet the following conditions:

  • The card combination of the hand conforms to the basic card type, which is composed of 4 sets of straight or carved cards (or bars) and 1 pair of general cards, for a total of 14 cards.
  • There are no "flower cards"(Guangdong Mahjong usually does not use flower cards, and some regions may join them, but mainstream gameplay has no flowers).
  • Meet a certain number of times (some areas have "playing times". For example, playing games such as chicken flattening and pushing down Hu may have no limit, but competitive Guangdong Mahjong usually requires at least 1 number).

For example, the most common card type is "Pinghu", which consists of 4 sets of straight and a pair of general cards. There is no card or only one type of card, and the number of cards is lower.

2. Special Hu brand types of Guangdong Mahjong

In addition to the basic card types, Guangdong Mahjong also has some special card types that can be directly played. These card types often have higher numbers and are the goals pursued by players.

1. seven pairs

The hand consists of 7 pairs, with a total of 14 cards. For example: Dongdong, Nannan, Xixi, Beibei, Zhongzhong, Fafa, Baibai. Seven pairs are usually a high number in Guangdong mahjong.

2. Pengpenhu

It consists of 4 sets of chips (or bars) and a pair of trump cards, with no straight. For example: three ten thousand yuan, three five cylinders, three nine rows, three east winds, and a pair of red medium. Danpeng Hu is also a common big name in Guangdong mahjong.

3. exclusively

手牌全部由一种花色的牌组成（万、筒、条中的一种），可以有顺子、刻子、对子。清一色番数很高，是许多玩家梦寐以求的牌型。

4. 混一色

手牌由一种花色的牌和字牌组成。例如：全部是万子加上东南西北中发白。混一色番数低于清一色，但也是不错的牌型。

5. flower on the bar

玩家杠牌后，从牌墙末尾补牌，补到的牌正好可以胡牌，称为杠上开花。这种胡牌方式在广东麻将中通常加番。

6. snatch a beard

When other players add a card (that is, they have hit a set of cards and then touch the fourth same card to play the card), if this card is exactly the card you need, you can grab the card. Robbing Hu is counted as self-touching in Guangdong Mahjong, and the number is higher.

三、广东麻将的番数计算与胡牌限制

广东麻将的番数计算较为复杂，不同地区规则略有差异，但常见番种包括：

  • pinghu：1番（部分地区无番）
  • Pengpenhu：3番
  • mixed color：3番
  • exclusively：6番
  • seven pairs：6番
  • flower on the bar：加1番
  • snatch a beard: Add 1 times (or self-touching)
  • for the moon: Add 1 time (you touch the last card, Hu card)
  • heavenly hand：庄家起手14张牌即胡牌，通常为满贯或封顶番数
  • Dihu：闲家起手胡庄家打出的第一张牌，番数较高

需要注意的是，广东麻将通常有“起胡番数”限制，例如在“鸡平胡”玩法中，无番限制，平胡即可胡；而在“广东麻将（推倒胡）”中，可能要求至少1番或2番才能胡牌。因此，了解具体玩法的番数要求很重要。

四、广东麻将胡牌常见误区

A lot of novices are judgingHow does Guangdong Mahjong become a fool?It is easy to make the following mistakes:

  • 误以为只要有4组加1对就能胡: In fact, it must conform to the combination of straight or cut, and there must be no "Xianggong"(multiple cards or few cards).
  • Ignore the number limit: In the gameplay that requires the number of plays, you cannot play games if you don't have enough plays.
  • 不清楚特殊牌型的胡牌条件：例如七对必须是7个不同的对子，不能有重复的刻子。
  • 忘记“鸡胡”规则：广东麻将中“鸡胡”（即无番胡）在某些玩法中不允许，需要至少一番。

因此，建议玩家在开始游戏前明确规则，避免因误解而错失胡牌机会。
