Lesson 4 of 13

How scoring works

When someone goes out, everyone else flips their leftover tiles face up. Add up every pip in those tiles. The winner gets all of those points.

= 16
Left in the losing hands: 10 + 5 + 1 = 16 points to the winner.

Keep playing hands until someone reaches the target score. That player, or team, wins the game. Pipside offers 100, 150, 200, 500, or any number you choose. Partner games are often played to 500.

Try it

Someone goes out. Left in the other hands: 6-5, 2-2 and 0-3. How many points does the winner get?

  1. 1Tap End hand and pick who went out.
  2. 2Tap each tile left in the losing hands. Pipside adds up the pips as you go.
  3. 3Check the total, confirm, and the points go on the board.

The notes below are for later: Pipside's starting settings are fine for your first games.

Your hand

Your last tile is the 2-5, and the open ends are 2 and 5. It fits on either end, so going out with it is a ¡Capicú!
