How Mixed Shifted Chows (三色三步高) works
Three chows, one in each suit, whose starting values step up by one each time — for example 123 in one suit, 234 in another, 345 in the third.
Each of the three suits contributes one chow, and the three sequences shift upward by a single step from suit to suit. The fourth set and pair are free. Because it spans all three suits with a fixed +1 offset, it differs from the identical-sequence Mixed Triple Chow and from same-suit shifted-chow patterns.
Good to know
- •One chow per suit, with each successive chow starting one number higher.
- •The shift is a single step (+1); the remaining set and pair are unrestricted.
- •Contrast with Mixed Triple Chow (same numbers) and Pure Shifted Chows (single suit).
