  • A Concealed Set consists only of tiles that originated in a player's private hand. Includes Concealed Quadruplets.

  • A Revealed Set consists of one or more grabbed tiles.

  • A Fully Private Hand must not have any Revealed Sets prior to declaration of MahJong. Such a hand can contain Concealed Quadruplets, and can be obtained by grabbing a discard or robbing a kong.
