Two Concealed Pungs in Chinese Official Mahjong (MCR): Points and Examples
In Chinese Official Mahjong, Two Concealed Pungs (双暗刻) is worth 2 points: you win with two concealed pungs — pungs whose three tiles you all drew yourself, not claimed. A concealed kong also counts as a concealed pung.

The rules for Two Concealed Pungs
- Both pungs were built from your own draws, not claimed
- A concealed kong counts; claimed pungs and melded kongs don't
- A pung completed on a discard counts as exposed: on a two-pair (shanpon) wait, the pung finished by someone's discard is not concealed
- If you self-draw that third pung instead, all three are concealed: Three Concealed Pungs (16)
- The rest of the hand can be open — no concealed hand required
What Two Concealed Pungs does not combine with
- Three Concealed Pungs (16) and Four Concealed Pungs (64) include it
- Two Concealed Kongs (6): two concealed kongs are already two concealed pungs
- One concealed kong plus one concealed pung: Concealed Kong (2) and Two Concealed Pungs both count
Scoring examples
Won on a discard
| Concealed Hand | 2 |
| Two Concealed Pungs | 2 |
| Pung of Terminals or Honors | 1 |
| No Honors | 1 |
| Total | 6 pt |
|---|
Below 8 points — not allowed to win.
Self-drawn

| Fully Concealed Hand | 4 |
| Pung of Terminals or Honors | 1 |
| No Honors | 1 |
| Total | 22 pt |
|---|
Reaches the 8-point minimum — a legal win.
Not counted (implied by a bigger fan): Self-Drawn
That is the key lesson: on a two-pair wait, self-draw versus discard is the difference of Three Concealed Pungs.
How it helps you reach 8
At 2 points it is often the last piece:
| Combination | Points |
|---|---|
| Two Concealed Pungs + All Pungs | 8 |
| Two Concealed Pungs + Two Dragon Pungs | 8 |
| Two Concealed Pungs + Half Flush | 8 |
| Two Concealed Pungs + Concealed Hand + Dragon Pung + Seat Wind | 8 |
When going for All Pungs, don't rush to claim — pungs you draw yourself keep Two Concealed Pungs and leave room for Three or Four Concealed Pungs.
