Transcript

In Mahjong Island, a Group is always exactly three tiles. Four in a row is too many.

3, 4, and 5 Bamboo make the Run, and the 6 is left over for something else.

And two tiles aren't a Group yet. 4 and 5 Bamboo still need a third.

Every Group is three tiles, no more and no less, so count your hand in threes.

Next lesson: Four of a kind is not a Group
