Mahjong Inferno Rules

Summary of Unique Rules

Game Continues After Someone Wins

In NTE's Mahjong, the game does not end when a player wins (either by discard or self-draw). The winning player draws a tile from the end of the wall and can continue to play, allowing them to win multiple times until the wall is depleted. 

Exchange 3 Tiles in the Beginning

After receiving their starting hand, each player chooses 3 tiles of the same suit and exchanges them with the player in the indicated direction. This unique rule makes it easier to aim for high scores right from the start of the game.

Prioritize Discarding Unwanted Suits

Before the game starts, you must designate one suit from Dots, Bamboos, or Characters as your 'Void Suit' (unwanted suit). During the game, you must prioritize discarding tiles of this designated suit. When you win by a discard or self-draw, make sure you don't have any tiles of your designated Void Suit in your hand.

Penalty for Not Being in Ready Hands

Players who are not in ready hands must pay a penalty based on the maximum possible multiplier of the other players who are already waiting to win.

Penalty for Unwanted Tiles at the End

At the end of the game (when checking for a draw), if you still have tiles of your Void Suit in your hand, this is called 'Flower Pig', and you must pay a high-multiplier penalty to all players who are in ready hands. Therefore, it is crucial to discard your Void Suit and be in ready hands before the game ends.

Mahjong Scoring Rules

Summary of Mahjong Scoring Rules

Start with 10,000 Points

In NTE's Mahjong, you start with 10,000 points, and these points are reset every round.

Calculating the Total Multiplier

In NTE's Mahjong, the total multiplier when you win is calculated by multiplying all applicable scoring patterns together. By completing many small hands as possible before winning, you can significantly increase your score.

Kong Tiles Score Instantly

When you declare Revealed Kong or Concealed Kong, points are settled immediately, and you collect them from the other three players. This scoring rule allows you to earn points with a Kong before you win the hand.

Benefits of Playing Mahjong

Receive Rewards Based on Final Rank

When you play Mahjong, you'll receive rewards based on your rank at the end of the game. The reward is the Chirpy Sparrow Ball, which you can exchange for Annulith and Fons by talking to 'Kureha' inside the shop.

Acquire Fons by Consuming City Stamina

At the end of a Mahjong game, you can consume City Stamina corresponding to your rank to acquire Fons. Additionally, a bonus based on your Tycoon Level is applied to the Fons you earn, so it's recommended to actively raise your Tycoon Level.
