Transcript

Mahjong Island has four Winds: East, South, West, and North.

Winds have no numbers, so they never make a Run, even lined up like this.

They make Sets and Pairs instead: three East Winds are a Set, and two would be a Pair.

So a lone Wind only helps your hand once its match turns up, for a Pair or a Set.
