always have a big debate with my wife about "sacred discard" rule. SG mahjong have this rule, cannot win on same tile within the same turn, it is too unfriendly among friends, as you are "aiming" or targeting the losing player to pay.

i play International style (or MCR style), they allow to win on same discard. I think it valid to win on the same tile, because that tile can be the last tile in the game, and the excuse for not claiming the win previously is that there is still a chance for "self-draw" to earn more points.

so end of day, we agree that sacred discard rule enforced, wife decides on the rules. ...hahah

I get where you are coming from. But to be fair, you have to factor in that other players may have the same tile that was discarded and may discard (towards late game) to play "safe".

So if the next player follow and discard but you game from him / her instead of the player before. It's not really fair also since you could have won when the 1st player threw your winning tile.

It's somewhat like a "trap"

Played some non-shooter games which allowed the rule, but of course its one of the house rules that was declared before the start of game. To be fair, I think non-shooter games it's OK but shooter should be a no. It's too unfair to the 2nd player who "followed" the previous players to discard the same tile.

If player has 4 same cards, can she ‘kong’ and collect money before the banker throws the 1st card?

Or must she wait for her turn to draw her first card, then can ‘kong’?

If banker throws 1st card, then some player game the 1st card, as in di-wu
Then she lost chance of collecting kong money

Is this your house rule or general playing rule?

Thanks

So far for the games I played, can just declare kong before the 1st card.

Coz no more tiles for you to take mah. Rule is must keep 15 tiles unturned.

Also no need to discard any card.

This seems to be more correct

Declare kong before 1st card thrown

This is to collect chips before any possible di-wu

The sequence should be take your 13 cards, and do adjustments for flowers n kong before the game starts with banker discarding 1st card

Besides claiming money, declaring the an kang also makes it possible for you to then 听牌 and possible to 地胡。 Otherwise you can't. Doesn't it sound unfair if it not allowed?

If the game is already in progress (i.e. first player had thrown out the first card), then yes its wait for your turn then you an gang.

But if it is before the game starts (i.e. first player had not thrown out the first card), then in all fairness you should be able to declare the an gang before your turn, otherwise it is not possible for you to 听牌 and 地胡. So you are saying that if I have an an gang in my first 13 cards I should just be penalized because I have to wait for my turn to 听牌?

Each player now sets aside any Flowers or Seasons they may have drawn and takes turns to draw replacement piece(s) from the wall in the anti-clockwise direction. If a player gets any Flowers or Seasons tiles in the replacement draw, the players must wait for the next turn to draw replacement tiles.

think you are right, as 暗杠 is a replacement tile
but better to clarify the rules before hand

Just to add on, a player can choose NOT to an gang depending on his own assessment of the situation, e.g. he has 89999 and he decides that he wants to keep it as 89+999. But when the first player throws the first card out, and he changes his mind that he wants to an gang, then he will have to wait for his turn.

Anyway its a very minor rule lah. If any host stops you and says no you cannot an gang like that, just wait till your turn then an gang loh. But so far I have not encountered any arguments regarding this, so I assume it is the proper rule.
