MCR patterns worth 8 points
Ten patterns worth exactly eight points, which is the minimum to win. Any one of them lets you declare a win on its own. This tier also holds the "moment of winning" patterns (Last Tile Draw, Last Tile Claim, Out with Replacement Tile and Robbing the Kong) and Chicken Hand, which counts only when a hand has no other scoring pattern.
About this tier
If you are new to MCR, this is the tier to learn first.
How to read the examples: sets that were called from a discard (exposed) are underlined in orange, and the winning tile has a gold outline. Every example is a complete winning hand that has been checked against the scoring engine.
