Lesson 6 of 15
Ending the game
The game ends when the bag is empty and one player puts down their last tile. It also ends if nobody can move and everyone passes twice in a row. That's the usual family rule.
- 1Everyone still holding tiles adds up what they're worth and subtracts it from their score.
- 2If someone went out, they add everyone else's leftover total to their own score.
- 3Highest score wins.
