Gongdo! 拱斗 is a novel, engaging and meaningful four-player competition game. Inspired by the formidable stars in the sky, it’s also known as "Supreme Star Mahjong". Players must collect the tiles they need to win the game: gather 15 tiles of the hand comprising 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 - Win!
Gong 拱 means stars come together to pay tribute to the supreme winning status.
Do 斗 (pronounce as "Dou") - in Chinese it has two meanings - Fighting, Conquer or “Dou” are the Stars themselves!
The "Gongdo!”engraved tile set comprises 160 tiles in total. The tiles are categorized into five star echelons. You don't need to memorize them, just glance at the tiles’ differences to start the game.
"Gongdo!" can be easy to get started (since you can win with a fixed combination), while it also can be complex and in-depth (i.e. the combinations of 4 pattern tiles are unpredictable and changeable along the game.)
"Revealing your pattern/prospects": When you reveal your pattern/prospects, you can declare it loudly and get good luck! Each 4 pattern tiles, are formed by those “heavenly bodies combinations”, they can have a relatable good connotations in many aspects of life!
"Couples" are vital! "The matched 2 tiles and couples" are essential! Actively look for the "best match of stars" among tiles.
Friends of Gongdo!, let's play!
