Stripjong - Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns: How Do I Declare a Win?
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: So if I'm picking this up correctly, when I select the option to "Chi", that means picking up a tile the opponent just discarded, to complete a set of three?
What you need to know
Winning in Stripjong requires the hand to meet the yaku condition before the game will accept a win. The game only registers a win when you have a valid yaku, even if the tiles form four sets and a pair. Declining a “Chi” on a discarded tile is often necessary to keep your hand closed and preserve yaku potential.
Step by step
- Check your hand after drawing – Look at the tile you just drew. If it completes four melds (three‑tile sets) and a pair, pause and verify whether the hand already satisfies a yaku.
- Do not automatically “Chi” – If the opponent just discarded a tile that could complete a set, avoid selecting the “Chi” option unless you are sure the resulting open hand still contains a yaku.
- Decline the “Chi” prompt – Choose the “Pass” or “No” option when the game asks if you want to chi. This keeps your hand closed, which is required for many yaku.
- Declare the win – After declining chi (or if you never had a chi opportunity), the game should present a “Win” button or automatically recognize the winning tile. Click the win button to end the round.
- If the win button does not appear – The hand likely lacks a yaku. You must adjust your tiles to create a yaku (e.g., a sequence of 1‑3, 4‑6, 7‑9, or other recognized patterns) before the game will accept the win.
Tips
- Closed hand advantage – Keeping your hand closed (no chi, pon, or kan) preserves the ability to win with basic yaku such as “All Simples” or “Pure Straight.”
- Watch the side hints – The hint that says “Winning tile” only indicates the tile could complete a set; it does not guarantee a win without yaku.
- Prioritize yaku formation – Focus on building recognizable patterns (e.g., three consecutive sequences in the same suit) early in the round to ensure you have a yaku when the final tile arrives.
- Avoid unnecessary chi – Accepting a chi will open your hand and often reduces the hand’s point value by one, making it harder to meet yaku requirements.
- Practice with simple yaku – Start by aiming for the easiest yaku (like a single sequence of 1‑3, 4‑6, 7‑9) to get comfortable with the win declaration process.
What players reported
I'm new to Mahjong and still trying to figure this out... Twice now I've been in the situation where the tile I just drew seems to complete my hand - four sets of three, plus two identical tiles - but the game doesn't register that I won, and is still asking me to discard a tile. It even gives hints on the side saying "Winning tile", meaning if I discard the current highlighted tile and then…

I figured out I can sometimes win if I always decline the option to "Chi"... So if I'm picking this up correctly, when I select the option to "Chi", that means picking up a tile the opponent just discarded, to complete a set of three? And if I do that, then for the rest of the game I can't win unless I have "yaku"? How do I get yaku?
Just to add to the complexity. Specific tile combinations will increase the value of the hand you have. For example if you hold a continous set combination 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 that value is higher than generic combination rand 4 sets + pair That allows you to still win even with a "revealed" hand. Think of the "reveal" as a -1 to the point value of your hand. So if your hand is looking to be a…
