Transcript
In Mahjong Island, every tile has four copies, so count how many are already gone.
Your Pair of 7 Dots needs a third, but two are already in the Discards.
You hold two, and two are gone, so only a Joker can finish this Set now.
Check the Discards before you count on a tile. If its copies are gone, change plans.
