Hot Tile

Winning becomes more difficult by two rules of the Hot Tile, or “Fu ri ten,” as the Japanese say:

• You are not allowed to go out with a tile you already discarded, unless you draw that tile from the wall and thus make a Tsumo.

• You are not allowed to go out with a Chow, if one of the tiles in the Chow was previously discarded by you. This restriction is called the 1-4-7-rule.

Example: You discard 4-Bamboo. Then you cannot go out anymore with 4-Bamboo. And you may not go out by finishing a potential Chow of 2-Bamboo and 3-Bamboo with a 1-Bamboo, because a 4-Bamboo also goes with 2-Bamboo and 3-Bamboo.

You also may not complete 5-Bamboo and 6-Bamboo with a 7-Bamboo, because 4-Bamboo also goes with a 5-Bamboo and 6-Bamboo.

Yet you are allowed to have a 5-Bamboo and a 7-Bamboo in your hand and to wait on a 6-Bamboo.

A tile from the wall is never hot and may always be used to go out, even if you discarded it before.
