Score a hand
Tick everything the winning hand has. Points add together, nothing doubles or multiplies, and the total is at the bottom. Where a section says pick one, only one line counts.
Rules and penalties not tick-and-add
Round minimum: every win scores at least 20 in the East round, 22 South, 24 West, 26 North. A plain Chicken win scores exactly that.
Seven flowers: an instant win, worth the round minimum from each player.
False mahjong: 25 to each other player. The game is void and the Dealer keeps the deal.
Chasing tiles: all four of one tile discarded in the same round, the first discarder pays each player 5 (honours) or 10 (suit tiles). Never for the West wind.
Triple dice when breaking the wall: each player pays the Dealer 5 (2-2-2 to 5-5-5) or 10 (1-1-1, 6-6-6).
Concealed gong: every other player pays 5 at once, on top of the 2 scored. Not shown at the end: 10 to each.
Dice on the wall: if the Dealer throws the winning tile, the Dealer pays the bonus to each winner (in the list above).
Draw: each player puts 5 in the pool for the next self-pick winner, and the deal moves on.
