Transcript

In Mahjong Island, three 2s, three 3s, and three 4s of one suit can be read two ways.

As three Sets: all the 2s, all the 3s, and all the 4s.

Or as three Runs of 2, 3, and 4 Characters.

Either way it's three Groups, so pick the reading that fits the rest of your hand.

Next lesson: The same Run twice
