Transcript

In Mahjong Island, the same tiles can often be split into Groups in more than one way.

3, 4, and 5 Dots can make a Run, leaving two 5 Dots as a Pair.

Or the three 5 Dots make a Set, leaving 3 and 4 Dots to grow into a Run.

Pick the split your hand needs. If you already have a Pair, take the Set.

Next lesson: Three Sets or three Runs
