Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example

Watch out for this
