MCR patterns worth 88 points
The top tier. These are the dream hands of MCR: a single completed pattern already pays far more than an ordinary win. They are rare, and most need very specific tiles, such as all four winds, all three dragons, one colour or four kongs.
About this tier
You will not complete them often, but it is worth recognising them, because one of them can appear when a hand is already close.
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.
