A 'Sequence Hand' is one where a player obtains a winning hand of 4 sets of sequences (順子 "shùn zǐ") and 1 pair of tiles, all from either the Character (万子 "wàn-zǐ"), Dots (筒子 "tòng-zǐ") or Bamboo (索子 "sùo-zǐ") tile sets. (However, special allowance is given to the nature of the pair of tiles. These pair of tiles can be from the Character tiles, Dots tiles or the Bamboo tiles, or any Winds (风 "fēng") which is "neither" the Prevailing Wind (圈风 "quān-fēng") "nor" the Seat Wind (门风 "mén-fēng") of the winning player.
