Guangdong mahjong in your browser

Both widely played Guangdong rule sets are here — Jipinghu (gai ping wu) and Tuidaohu (tui dao wu), which differ in how you may win and how faan are counted — with Hong Kong Old Style offered as a separate preset.

What to know about this ruleset

Two presets

Jipinghu allows chow and winning on a discard; Tuidaohu allows only self-draw and robbing-the-kong wins.

Faan-based scoring

Jipinghu adds up the faan of every pattern and pays the base score × 2 to the power of the faan (a chicken hand of 0 faan can still win; ordinary hands stop at 3, big hands reach 6); Tuidaohu multiplies its win multipliers.

Frequently asked questions

What separates Jipinghu from Tuidaohu?

Jipinghu (gai ping wu) allows chow and winning on another player’s discard; Tuidaohu (tui dao wu) has no chow and recognises only self-draw and robbing-the-kong wins. You choose before the game.

Is this the same as Hong Kong mahjong?

No. Hong Kong mahjong (HKOS) is a separate branch with 144 tiles including eight flowers, a three-faan minimum, a 10-faan cap and full-chung payment, so it is offered as its own preset inside the Guangdong family alongside Jipinghu and Tuidaohu.
