Fuzhou style

Cross-comparison

conflicting — sources disagree materially, or one source contradicts itself

• [1] from a newsgroup post by Jesse, May 28 and June 1-2 2003
• [1] CONTRADICTION WITHIN ONE SOURCE: the abbreviated overview describes Fuzhou as using no flower tiles, with honours treated like flowers as in the Filipino game and a Japanese dora-type tile as joker. That description matches the detailed FUJIAN entry, not the detailed Fuzhou entry, which says 132 tiles with one honour removed and no flowers or jokers

Reading it

The detailed entry gives 132 tiles with one honour removed and no flowers or jokers. The abbreviated list on the same page describes Fuzhou as having honours treated like flowers and a dora-type joker, which is the detailed Fujian entry's description, not Fuzhou's. One of the two is contaminated, and there is no second source to break the tie.
