Hi there!

Want to know more about Hong Kong mahjong scoring and what you need to decide before you play regarding Hong Kong mahjong scoring? Then you're in the right place! :)

Here are the five things I cover:
1) Minimum faan
2) Maximum faan
3) How much is each faan worth?
4) Are we playing loser pays all?
5) Are we playing with flowers?

I also cover the deui deui wú 3-fāan hand, the 1- and 2-fāan hands and the chicken hand.

(If you're wondering where my mother-in-law was, she was with me, but it was just easier for me to do this video on my own first and then she'll be in the next one to share with you all some tips for playing.)

We usually play sāam fāan héi wú to win the game because we just don't find the fast-and-furious 1- and 2-fāan games as enjoyable, but would love to know what you think -- which way do you like to play? Are you a three-faan fan or an anything-goes type of player? Do you play chyùhn chúng? And what about playing with flowers? Please comment below and let us know!

I hope you found this video useful, and if you do, please like click "like" and subscribe. Turn on notifications, too!

Happy playing! 🀄️
