Concealed Hand
A Concealed Hand scores 5 points when you win on another player’s discard without ever having exposed a meld by claiming earlier. Keeping every group hidden until the winning tile is harder than melding openly, so concealment is rewarded — and rewarded more again when you draw the winner yourself.
A worked example
No exposed melds, won by discard. 5 points.
All melds concealed + won by another player's discard = 5 pts.
