Tai Pan

After each player has taken 14 cards, every player pushes 3 cards face down — one to each other player — and then may pick up the three cards that were pushed to him, adding them to his hand (p.1).

You may lead singles, pairs, sequences of pairs, three-of-a-kind, full houses (trio+pair), or sequences of length at least 5; each combination can only be beaten by the same kind of higher combination (except bombs), and sequences must be the same length to beat (p.1).

When the Mah Jong is played its owner may wish a normal rank (not a special card); the next player who actually has that rank and can lawfully play it must play it on his ordinary turn, but players who play bombs out of turn do not have to fulfill the wish — if a bomb wins the trick the new winner must fulfill the wish when leading next (p.1, p.3).

The Phoenix is a joker in combinations (not for bombs), counts as half a rank higher when played as a single (and is worth −25 points), the Dragon is the highest single card worth +25 and, when it wins a trick, its holder gives that trick to an opponent of his choice, and the Hound has no trick-taking power — when led it simply transfers the right to lead to the player's partner (p.2).

Bombs (either five-or-more consecutive cards in the same suit or four-of-a-kind) may be played at any time, even out of turn, and beat any non-bomb (including the Dragon); however, bombs cannot be used to take the Hound (they cannot be used to take the Hound and its transfer of lead) (p.2, p.3).

The round ends when only one player has cards left; tricks are revealed and score +10 per king/ten, +5 per five, +25 for the Dragon and −25 for the Phoenix (total 100 points per deal), and although the last trick ends immediately when the third-last player finishes, it is still awarded to whoever wins it (and the Dragon, if it wins, still gives that trick to an opponent) (p.2, p.3).
