Sichuan mahjong, ding que and blood battle included

A 108-tile wall with no honour tiles, the ding que rule that forces you to abandon one suit before play, and blood-battle scoring that continues until three players have won.

What to know about this ruleset

108 tiles, no honours

Winds and dragons are removed, so play runs quickly on the three number suits alone.

Ding que suit selection

Before the hand begins you must abandon one suit, exactly as in Sichuan play.

Blood battle and blood river

A single win does not end the hand — play continues until three of the four players have won.

Frequently asked questions

What is ding que?

Before play starts you choose one of the three suits to abandon. You cannot win while tiles of that suit remain, so early decisions matter.

How does blood battle work?

A hand does not end when someone wins. It continues until three of the four players have declared a winning hand.

Can I call chow?

No. Sichuan mahjong uses only pung and kong, which is part of why it plays so quickly.
