How Prevalent Wind (圈風刻) works

A pung (or kong) of the wind tile matching the current round's prevailing wind.

The hand contains a triplet of the wind that governs the current round of play, such as East in the East round. It is awarded for the round wind specifically, separate from a player's own seat wind. If a player's seat wind also matches the round wind, the same triplet can satisfy both wind awards.

Good to know
  • The wind must match the round's prevailing wind, not the seat wind.
  • A kong of that wind also qualifies.
  • When seat and round wind coincide, both wind awards apply to the one set.

Prevalent Wind (圈風刻) — FAQ

How is this different from the seat-wind award?

This counts the round's prevailing wind; the seat-wind award counts the player's own position wind.

Can a kong count?

Yes, a kong of the prevailing wind satisfies the requirement just as a pung does.
