One colour – 9 cards in the open but you throw the winning tile of that suit
Pong pong one nine – 9 cards in the open but you throw a one or nine that is the winning tile
Max tai – When a player is on the brink of max tai, you throw a da pai that allows him to pong to max tai. You will
bao as long as that player games. A possible scenario could be a player has 2 tais from flowers, and 2 tais from da
pai, and you feed a pong for another da pai that contributes to the 5th tai… BAO
Sheng pai – You discard a card never seen before when there are 7 or fewer tiles left, and it is the winning tile
