## What is 4 Winds Mahjong?

4 Winds Mahjong brings authentic Singapore-rules Mahjong to iPhone and iPad — built by players, for players.

Two Game Modes: Classic Singapore Mahjong with the full 144-tile deck, or the Vietnam HK variation featuring eight distinct Joker tile types: Wind, Dragon, Bamboo, Character, Circle, Suit, Two-Five-Eight, and the all-powerful Universal Joker. Each Joker substitutes only for compatible tiles, adding real strategic depth.

19 Winning Hands: 
All identified and scored correctly — Ping Wu, All Pong, Half Color, Full Color, Thirteen Wonders, Heaven Game and more.

StrongAI: Three CPU opponents that read the discards, manage risk, and always play the least-flexible Joker first to keep their wildcards in reserve.

Authentic Details: Spoken calls in Cantonese, Mandarin and English (or No Spoken Calls). 

Animal bonus tiles. Adjustable fan rules. Curfew rules. Chips scoring.

Smart Controls: e.g. in Vietnam/HK version: 
Joker picker lets you choose which Joker to play. A "Not Now" button means you're never locked into a Kong.

Deal the tiles. Read the table. Win the round.
