Four of a kind is not a Group

Four matching tiles are not one Group. Three make a Set; the fourth is spare.

What this lesson teaches

Four matching tiles are not one Group. Three make a Set; the fourth is spare.

  • A Set is three matching tiles.

Takeaway: Three make a Set. Never four.

Transcript

In Mahjong Island, four matching tiles aren't one Group. A Group is always three.

Three of the 5 Dots make a Set, and the fourth is left over.

That fourth one can still join a Run, like 5, 6, and 7 Dots.

So four of a kind is a Set, plus one tile for another Group.
