Take a closer look while playing

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The order of play

  1. Play a tile matching either open chain end.
  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

How to use the controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

See the idea in action

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

An important reminder

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
