Concealed Hand
A Concealed Hand scores 5 points when you win on another player’s discard with no exposed sets other than gongs. Flowers and exposed gongs do not break it; a claimed sheung or pong does. The final winning discard is allowed. Win the same hand by self-draw and the 10-point concealed self-draw row replaces it.
