How to Make a Chow in Mah Jongg

Collect three consecutive tiles from the same mah jongg suit to form a chow.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 Chairs
• Card Tables
• Pencils
• Pencils
• Mah Jongg
• Mah Jongg Tiles
• Scoring Pads
• Pencils

1. Declare a chow on your turn.

2. Make the chow from the tiles already in your hand - keep it concealed to earn more points.

3. Form a chow in an alternative way by taking the discarded tile from the player before you to create a "melded triplet."

4. Place a melded triplet face up on the table with the discarded tile lying at a right angle to the second tile.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that a player who declares a pung may take that discarded tile from you, because a pung takes precedence over a chow.
