Transcript

In Mahjong Island, a Run is three numbers in a row, all in one suit.

3, 4, and 5 Bamboo is a Run: three numbers in a row, all Bamboo.

Swap in a 4 Dots and it breaks: a Run can't mix suits.

And 3, 5, and 6 Bamboo has a number missing, so it isn't a Run either.

So check two things every time: the numbers run in a row, and the suit never changes.
