## What is Four Winds?

Play Hong Kong mahjong with friends in the same room, each on an iPhone or iPad. One player hosts, the others join nearby, and each hand stays private on its player's screen.

This is four-player mahjong: build a winning hand from draws and discards, and claim tiles to form sequences or matching sets. Each person uses their own copy of Four Winds.

Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on; no internet connection or account is needed. Fill empty seats with computer players, or practice alone against three. The app checks winning hands, resolves calls, counts faan, and keeps score.

Choose a minimum of zero, one, or three faan for your table. Four Winds uses Hong Kong Old Style rules with 136 tiles and no flowers. Draw, discard, chow, pung, and kong around a table with engraved tiles and a seat compass.

Follow each discard, claim, and win, then share the hand result. The host can resume a saved table, and guests can reclaim their seats on the same devices after a lost connection.

Points are for your table only. No real money is staked and no wagers are placed. No ads or in-app purchases.
