Transcript
In Mahjong Island, a winning hand uses exactly one Pair. Extra Pairs need to grow into Sets, or go.
This rack has three Pairs. Keep one as your Pair, like the 2 Dots.
Another Pair can grow: a third 7 Characters turns it into a Set.
And a Pair that can't grow is a good place to find a discard, like the South Winds.
One Pair is all you need. Every extra Pair is a Set waiting to happen, or a discard.
