Scoring Systems

Scoring Systems with Intricate Rewards

Poker emphasizes money as the reward. Many players enjoy the thrill of winning chips or cash, but Mahjong takes a more engaging approach through its detailed scoring mechanisms. In Mahjong, points are awarded based on:

• Hand difficulties: Certain hands score higher due to their rarity or the difficulty of assembling them.
• Bonus tiles or "flowers": Collecting seasonal or bonus tiles adds another element of excitement.
• Creativity in combinations: Players earn more points for assembling complex patterns, blending skill with luck.

The scoring system not only keeps the game fresh but also amplifies the satisfaction of achieving higher-tier hands compared to poker's straightforward "high card" or "full house" wins.
