Optional Play.
A player holding three or kind
in his hand and drawing a fourth
from the wall has the option OF
continuing to hold them concealed,
or of exposing" them by placing
them before him. If he keeps them
concealed, he does not draw loose
tile. When he exposes them, he
turns the two end tiles face down to
indicate that the four will score as
"four in the hand" at the end Of
the game. After exposing them he
draws a loose tile. It is obvious
that player holding foursomc in
his hand, cannot Nah Jongg and
still keep the four intact
But sometimes "a player elects to
hold the four on a chance that, by
using one of the four in some differ
emit combination, he will make Nah

end with him still holding the four
in his hand, they score only as
