Sichuan Bloody Rules mahjong is much more offensive than riichi mahjong. With such high noten penalties, it is always recommended to try to keep tenpai / advance towards tenpai. If you give up going for tenpai, you'll just have to pay it back at the exhaustive draw. Trying to hold a tile from the excluded suit is especially risky and almost never recommended. Due to these penalties, the lack of [[furiten]], and lack of riichi calls, traditional defense is much weaker. The best to play "defensive" is to win fast with cheap hands. | Sichuan Bloody Rules mahjong is much more offensive than riichi mahjong.

There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common ( | There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common. (Remember that [[chii]] is disabled; a pair that can pon is comparable to [[ryanmen]] in speed, especially when considering voided suits). Triplets also get the benefit of enabling kan, which increases score through both kan payments and root. | ||
A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku. The only yaku that allow sequences are chinitsu, junchan, root, and the other bonus yaku. Still, keeping sequences will let your hand develop faster, thus allowing you to escape payment from others. Plus, even a yakuless tsumo is worth 6000 points, if nobody has won yet. | A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku.
