Melded Hand (全求人)
All four sets are declared by calling tiles from discards, and the win completes the pair via a discard.
How Melded Hand (全求人) works
Every set is claimed from other players, and the winning tile completes the final pair by discard.
All four sets are formed by calling discards (chow, pung, or kong), the player draws nothing useful into a completed group themselves, and the winning tile is the discard that finishes the pair. Because the entire hand is built from others' tiles, no concealed-hand or self-draw credit can apply. It is a precise, restrictive structure with all melds exposed.
- •The final winning tile must complete the pair, not a set, and must be a discard.
- •It is incompatible with self-draw and with concealed-hand patterns by definition.
- •All four sets are exposed melds claimed from opponents.
Melded Hand (全求人) — FAQ
How does the winning tile work in a Melded Hand?
The hand has all four sets already melded from discards, and the final claimed discard completes the lone pair.
Can a Melded Hand be won by self-draw?
No. The pattern requires the pair to be completed by a discarded tile, so a self-drawn win does not qualify.
