How All Simples (斷么) works
A hand made entirely of simple tiles, ranks 2 through 8, with no terminals or honors.
Every tile is a number from 2 to 8, excluding all 1s, all 9s, and every wind and dragon. It is a tile-attribute fan that can apply to standard hands and to special structures like Seven Pairs when those tile conditions hold. It contrasts directly with terminal- and honor-focused patterns, which it explicitly forbids.
Good to know
