Orbit matches

Mahjong battles,
with special abilities!

Shield one dangerous discard from ron, or raise the value of an open hand. In Orbit matches, you choose when to use special abilities.

Equip abilities you earn on your journey before each match. Your opponents use them too, so watch their equipment and remaining charges alongside their discards.

You can also play regular mahjong.

Three players.
A different kind of match.

Three-player sanma joins four-player mahjong. Play East–South matches with North-tile extraction in regular or Orbit matches.

Rules and Lumina rewards

Sanma uses North-tile extraction and East–South matches only. The participation fee and reward calculation differ from four-player mahjong; Lumina earnings after the fee are a little lower.

Version 1.9 / Nova System

Your first hand of four-tile mahjong.

Start with four tiles in a beginner-friendly, two-player match. Learn how to build a winning hand as you challenge space creatures across five planets.

A winning hand
One, two, and three circlesOne set of three
Two five-bamboo tilesOne matching pair

A set is three consecutive numbers in the same suit or three identical tiles.

  1. Draw one, discard one

    Draw a tile to add to your four. If you can’t win, tap a tile twice to discard it and pass the turn.

  2. Complete a set and a pair

    Win by drawing the tile yourself (tsumo) or by taking your rival’s discard (ron). There’s no riichi, and you can win without a scoring pattern (yaku).

  3. Score more with yaku and dora

    A win without yaku starts at 1,000 points. Each han doubles the base score. A full flush (all tiles in one suit) is worth one han in four-tile mahjong.

    Dora follows the indicator. If it shows the three of circles, each four of circles in your winning hand adds 1,000 points, up to three bonuses. There are no hidden dora.

First stop, Ciel

Cabin → Space Station → Nova System → Ciel

Once you arrive, choose an Orbit match and select your rival. An illustrated guide explains the rules on your first visit. Win to earn Lumina and collect cards with artwork exclusive to the Nova System. Starting on the third planet, seven-tile mahjong asks you to build two sets and a pair.

Calls, draws, and the next route
Tiles and calls
Four-tile mahjong uses circles, bamboo, and the three dragons. Pon and kan are available. Chi is unavailable. A kan uses four identical tiles and counts as one set.
Four hands decide the match
Tsumo adds points to the winner’s score. With ron, the rival pays. If either player discards 18 tiles without a win, the hand ends in a draw and the scores stay the same.
Unlocking the next planet
Earn a total of 5,000 Lm on the current planet and beat one ranker. You can then spend 5,000 Lm from your balance to open the route.

Your next rival?
Not from this world.

Every world brings new faces—and new ways to play.

  1. Explore the stars

    Leave the lunar harbor for worlds you haven’t seen.

  2. Take a seat

    Choose four-player mahjong or three-player sanma.

  3. Bring back a card

    Finish above a rival to add their card to your collection.
