Re: Is there an equivalent to "13 Unique Wonders" in Taiwan MJ?

Dee,

    Actually, I heard somewhere that what you do in Taiwanese MJ is after
the regular 14  tiles that help you make up that hand, you also have a
meld of 3 of some sort. Either a 3 of a kind or a run of three. However, I
recently heard from someone that the 3 of a kind is not valid, so it may
just depend on house rules. Just find out what the house rules are before
you play.
