Ok, there are two types of sets you can have. Che's (lol spelling) and Pong's. A Che is a straight of the same suit. There are 3 suits, Numbers, Dots, and Bamboo (THE BIRD IS THE 1 OF BAMBOO!! A Pong is a 3 of a kind. Not much else to explain.
If you have two of a set, you can call Che, or Pong to get the next tile you need if it is discarded. But, you can only Che from the person sitting to your left (the person who goes before you). If you call to get a tile, you must lay the three tiles out of your hand (you'll see reason why later). You can Pong from anyone who discards.
Pong overrides Che, if you are going to Che a tile, and someone calls Pong, you cry.
You finish the game when you have, 4 sets of Pong's or Che's and an Eye. An Eye is simply a pair. This is 14 tiles, and you only have 13 in your hand, so you must call or draw your last tile. This is called Eating (lol spelling). You can Eat off of any discarded tile, whether you need it for a Che, a Pong, or an Eye no matter who discards it. Eat overrides Pong and Che. If two people Eat off the same tile, the person who is first in the turn rotation wins.
Eating is winning the round. You win as many points for the round based on how many points you collected (covered later). You get one point for winning in addition to the other points. If you do not Eat, you get no points for the round.
There are a few special tiles outside of the 3 suits. Dragons, Winds, and Flowers.
Dragons can only be Pong'ed. But if you get a Pong of Dragons, they are worth an extra point. There is the White, Green and Red Dragons.
Winds can only be Pong'ed. You only get an extra point if it is your wind though.
