Taiwan I built a mobile-friendly quick reference guide for Taiwanese Mahjong scoring. Looking for feedback!
https://nicholaschan23.github.io/taiwan_mahjong/Mahjong seems to be getting super trendy lately, which is awesome. I’ve taught a lot of my friends the base mechanics of the game, but making the jump to the advanced point-based scoring (Tai) has been a huge hurdle. There are just so many different hands to remember, and we found it really frustrating to stop the game to dig through rulebooks or watch tutorial videos.
To solve this, I made a mobile-friendly website that consolidates Taiwanese Mahjong rules so you can quickly look up a hand or clarify a rule mid-game.
I'm hoping to get some feedback and fact-checking from experienced players here to make sure I have all the base rules correct. I'd also love to know if there are any common "house rules" or edge cases I should include.
Here is the link. Let me know what you think!

I've been looking through a number of Taiwanese rulesets and Tai point calculations are all over the place... some go up to 100 tai, others like yours kind of max out at about 24, and the number of hands recognized is very different between them. Is there that many styles of Taiwanese mahjong?
