Fujian style
124 tiles, winds as flowers
Caveat from the source chart
Rests on a single informant report.
Cross-comparison
single-source — only one source was found; nothing independent confirms it
| Source | Tiles | Hand | Flowers | Scoring | Payout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [1] | 124 (3 suits, 4 winds, no dragons) | 13, out on 14 | none; winds treated as flower tiles and replaced when acquired; a wild tile from the back of the wall serves as joker | contributor Chris Jacques: 'The scoring system is beyond me' | — |
- [1] Sloperama separately records that Dragon Chang says a style similar to Filipino is played in Fuzhou (Fukien)
Reading it
124 tiles, winds as flowers and a wild tile as joker match the chart exactly. But it rests on one contributor who says openly that he does not understand the scoring, and the Fuzhou entry on the same page appears to have borrowed this description. Treat the tile count as the only firm part.
