What is Kong in Mahjong?

Kong cards are also called "knots". Any four identical cards that are formed in the player's hands during the game can be called Kong cards. Players can choose Kong or not, and they need to confirm verbally to confirm the formation. Kong card, and you need to draw another card from the tail (under normal circumstances) to count, otherwise it will be a public card, and you cannot use random cards.

Others play a card, and you have three identical cards in your hand, that is, a kong card, called an open kong. You fall down this kong, then go to the end of the row and grab a card. A card of is played. There are three identical cards in the hand, and another identical card is drawn, which is called a concealed kong. No one knows what card it is, and then another card is drawn at the end of the row, and the unnecessary card in the hand is played. "Open Kong" has priority over "Picking". If the card you want to Kong happens to be the card that the player who played the card wants to capture, then the Capture card will fail and the Kong card will succeed.

It is divided into open kong, hidden kong and added kong

Hidden kong is to catch four of the same ones and then buckle the kong. Others don’t know what you are. At the end of the card Reveal a card and play again.

There are two situations in the open bar. One is: for example, you have a one-to-one handle, and then someone hits one, and you touch it, and it becomes three-to-one, and then you grab another one. The handle becomes four, and everyone knows that you have one handle. The second is: For example, if you draw three eights, and then someone hits eights, you try to beat him. If your opponent wants to pay more, it's a bit of a bargain.

Extended information:

Kong cards, like touching cards, must be made according to the situation and time, especially when the four middle cards are opened. The basic skills of kong cards are:

① When someone else plays a card that is the same as the one secretly carved in their own hand, most people will want to open the kong. If they have already eaten or touched the card in front of their own door, they will open the kong. It is possible. But if it is clear in front of the gate, you should seriously consider whether to open the bar or not. Opening the bar only earns one point, while clearing the bar in front of the gate earns two points. The gain outweighs the loss. If the next player is playing cards, opening a kong will be beneficial to oneself, which is equivalent to drawing one more card. Opening a kong is the best strategy. A sharp card that has nothing to do with the cards in the hand can suppress each player after opening the kong. A blow from each face-saving combination, and so on, of course, there must be a fight.

② From the perspective of listening to cards, sometimes it is better not to open the kong than to open the kong. For example, in addition to the cards in the hand and the engraved pieces, the bid is to catch a single card. When someone else plays a card that is the same as your engraved piece For the same cards, from a tactical point of view, it is better not to have a Kong. For example, there are 43,000 cards, and someone else plays 40,000. We draw the cards instead of Kong. If we draw a 30,000 card, we can change the bidding to 2, 30, or 50,000, which is better than fishing alone; 50,000, and you can change it to 3, 50, or 60,000; even if you touch 20,000 or 60,000, you can also change it to 20, 30,000, or 50,000, or 60,000, which are both higher than fishing alone.

③When you later draw a card with the same engraving as the one you drew, do you reveal the extra kong? Of course it depends on the situation. If someone listens to the card, listen to the opportunity of the fourth card. As long as you add the Kong, others can grab the tie (i.e. grab the Kong). Only when it is estimated that it is fully safe, can we dare to increase the leverage. Otherwise, we can only keep it in our hands and wait for opportunities to act.

④ In a specific situation, discarding the Kong and discarding the tiles can confuse the opponent, which is beneficial to oneself. For example, if you hit a green-haired card, you can also use a white board to secretly carve a pair of cards in your hand, and you can win a single card or a pair of red cards. At this time, when someone else plays a blank card, don't open the kong to give other players the feeling that they don't have a big card. If the kong is opened, the word "fa" and the white board will be exposed, and everyone will be surprised. In case you have a big three yuan card, it will be very detrimental to your fortune. On the contrary, if you touch the 4th white board, not only do you not use it, but you throw it out, which is a paralysis to everyone, then no one will doubt that you have a three-yuan card in your hand, and you will be assured of playing a red hit. Wouldn't it suit your wish, allowing you to make a high-end card with a store of big three yuan or small three yuan smoothly?

⑤The situation of opening a kong and being snatched by others is not limited to counting tiles. You should also be more careful when adding kong with word tiles, because once someone fails to rely on all or seven stars and has already listened to the cards, The fourth card you played was snatched and tied by him.

⑥If the bid after listening to the card in the hand has nothing to do with the mark, the opportunity to open the Kong should not be missed. At this time, opening the right is equivalent to one more opportunity to enter the card. If the first card on the kong is your own bid, you can bloom on the kong, which greatly increases the dividends and obtains unexpected "flying blessings".
