This series of posts is meant to be a detailed guide to the scoring patterns in Zung Jung. Any question you have about any pattern should be answered here. If you have a question that I've missed, please let me know so I can add more information.

If you have a command of what all the patterns are, and whether each scores a few points (5 to 20), medium points (30 to 60), a lot of points (80 to 160), or a huge amount of points, you can more quickly decide which of your tiles are worth keeping.

The recommended order to learn the patterns:

1. Category 3: Honor Tiles

2. Category 2: One Suit

3. Category 4: Triplets and Kong

4. Category 8: Terminals

5. Category 1: Trivial Patterns

6. Category 5: Identical Sets

7. Category 6: Similar Sets

8. Category 7: Consecutive Sets

9. Category 9: Incidental Bonuses

10. Category 10: Irregular Hands
