the game

Faans value a hand. Points decide the game.

MahPoints plays traditional Hong Kong-style mahjong, with 3 faans minimum, flowers, dealers, limit hands and the familiar hand-completion rules.

We do not shorten your game to fit a timeframe, nor reduce it to a faan-only format. Every time you attend, you continue from where you left off.

Full rules and scoring details will be provided before play. See the rules.
