What the game asks you to do
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Making your moves
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
