Objective
The objective of this game is very similar to mahjong, which is to achieve a winning hand consisting of melds of the following arrangements. Each player has 20 cards in his hand at the start of the game, and a winning hand has 21 cards with a minimum of 9 points, and can go up to 41 points at maximum (almost impossible). Note that each winning hand has to have an odd number of points in the range from 9 to 41. Hence this can be a rough guide for players to check in case they are short of cards or have extra cards.
