SparrowScore

SparrowScore keeps score for a physical Hong Kong mahjong table. Place one iPhone or iPad at the table, choose the winner and win type, enter the hand's total faan, and let the app calculate points and running totals across the whole night. Patterns are an optional helper: search names and aliases, see why a choice is unavailable, and use its calculated total when helpful. Entered faan includes self-draw and ready bonuses; the dealer bonus is added separately. Exact amounts can be assigned to every opponent, including on discard wins. Two Hong Kong styles are built in: - HK Cantonese: configurable faan values, minimum and limit, full- or half-discarder payment, and responsibility payments. - HK Taiwanese: 16-tile scoring with base points, faan value, dealer and dealer-streak bonuses, and 拉 settlement. It can also use Cantonese-style payments. Make the rules match your table. Change a pattern's faan, disable it, mark it as a limit hand, or choose how payments work. New games use the saved house rules while games already in progress keep the rules they started with. The built-in rule book explains the tiles, winning hands, table flow, payments, table vocabulary, and every supported scoring pattern. Each supported pattern includes a drawn example hand. Use manual totals for patterns the helper does not yet cover.
