Winds and Dragons never make a Run

Winds and Dragons only make Sets and Pairs.

What this lesson teaches

Winds and Dragons only make Sets and Pairs.

  • A Run is three numbers in a row.

Takeaway: Winds and Dragons make Sets and Pairs, never Runs.

Transcript

In Mahjong Island, Winds and Dragons have no numbers, so they only make Sets and Pairs. East, South, and West isn't a Run.

Three East Winds make a Set.

And two East Winds make a Pair.

So when you hold a Wind or a Dragon, you need its match for a Pair or a Set, never its neighbor.
