Your objective

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

From the start of a round

  1. Play a tile matching either open chain end.
  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

One detail worth checking

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
