Sections & color

How the card is organized, and what the colors mean.

Beginner · lesson 8 of 25

Sections group the card by theme

The card is split into sections: the year's numbers, the even numbers (2468), consecutive runs, and winds & dragons. Learning which section a hand belongs to helps you spot what you're building toward.

2 crak — Even numbers live in the 2468 section.

4 crak — Even numbers live in the 2468 section.

Tip

On the real card, tile colors tell you which groups must share a suit. Same color = same suit.

F F, 1 1 1 1 first suit, 2 2 2 2 second suit, 3 3 3 3 third suit

Three colors, three different suits: the 1s, the 2s and the 3s can't share one.
