Sanma 「三麻」 is the three player variant to mahjong. Just like the regular four player game, all yaku and standard rules apply to the game. Likewise, any house rules may apply.

Rule modifications

Three player essentially plays like the regular four player game but with some changes.

  • Removal of one suit
Typically, the manzu suit is removed. Though, the terminals (1-man and 9-man) remain in order to retain the possibility for kokushi musou.
  • The dead wall

The dead wall is arranged differently.

  • North tile dora
By use of kita, possession of the north tile may be put to the side of the hand, like an open call; and it would be counted as dora. Plus, the player is also awarded an extra draw from the dead wall for that north tile.
