Scoring
Tai
Also called: 台
Taiwanese 16-tile mahjong scoring unit. Linear payouts.
Tai (台) is the Taiwanese 16-tile mahjong scoring unit. Each pattern is worth a fixed number of tai, and your hand total is just the sum — no exponential or fu-style math. Tai converts directly to fixed money at a per-tai table rate (commonly 10 NTD at home stakes). 16-tai limit hands include All Honors and Thirteen Orphans.
