The element cards are named after the six Baphian classical elements, and are able to form sequences based on their position in the elemental cycle, with moon able to 'wrap around' to sun. There are four copies of each. The order of the cards is as follows:

* Sun (Baphian: ''~~zepang~~'', Kzmr: ''~~spn~~'')

* Sun (Baphian: {{Ukilen|}} ''ze{{Overline|fang}}'', Kzmr: {{Kzmr|}} ''sph'')

== Scoring ==

The winning player is initially awarded 12 points, which is then compounded with any initial additive points (Kzmr: ''~~sdnsi~~''). Next, this number is multiplied by a factor determined by the number of augmentations (Kzmr: ''~~bdkšnsi~~''). This factor stems from a sequence of multiples of powers of six – each power is multiplied by 1, 2, and 3. As 1 augmentation is equivalent to a point multiplier of 2, the sequence is as follows:

=== Year markers ===

A relatively common [[w:House rule|house rule]] is the addition of a special meld type based on the number of the current year. In parts of Baphia where the Eastern Noellastani calendar is used, this constitutes an exception to the three-card minimum for a meld, as the current year (33) expressed in base 6 is represented by the cards 5 and 3. In the Western Noellastani system, the year 20 Sinumsa is expressed as 3-2-Spring, with the spring card representing the era name. Both of these have the added requirement that the minor cards must be part of the same suit, and that jokers are prohibited.

The Kzmr system is based on the naming process of Kzmr numbers, so the year 1911, which is expressed as 211 before 4000, is represented by the cards 2-1-1-West-4-10-10-10. The requirement that none of these can be jokers still applies, but the cards before and after the west card may be in different suits.

== Scoring conditions ==

All winning hands are required to have at least one of a set number of properties which known as 'formations' before victory can actually be obtained. All formations are worth a set number of counters or augmentations. There are also a few properties which, while not being valid formations in and of themselves and thus being insufficient to declare a victory, are worth points.

It is important to note that some scoring conditions are exclusive subsets of others, for instance, Four Seasons always entails Seat Direction and Sequence of Sequences always entails All Sequences. In these cases, both the superset and subset are added to scoring.

=== Draw-based wins ===

'''Self-draw:''' If the winning player's completing card was drawn from the draw pile, they are awarded 2 counters, but this does not constitute a formation.

'''Last card draw''': If the winning player's completing card was the last card in the draw pile, they are awarded 1 augmentation.

'''Blessing of the Moon''': If the dealer's initial hand is a winning hand, they are awarded 4 augmentations.

'''Blessing of the Sun''': If a player other than the dealer completes their hand before the dealer's second turn, they are awarded 4 augmentations.

'''Taking from the bundle''': If the winning player's completing card is taken from the diagonal card of another player's open meld, they are awarded 4 counters.

=== Wins based on hand structure ===

'''Three quints''': A hand consisting of three quints is worth 1 augmentation.

'''Five trips''': A hand consisting of five trips is worth 1 augmentation.

'''Concealed hand''': A hand with no open melds is worth 4 counters.

'''Hex''': Each hex in a hand is worth 1 counter.

'''Sept''': A hand containing a sept is worth 2 counters.

'''Hex set''': Each hex set in a hand is worth 3 augmentations if open, and 6 if concealed.

'''Sequence of Sequences''': The Sequence of Sequences consists of five different sequences of increasing size from 1 to 5, each of which has a different category, i.e., it contains all four suits as well as a sequence of elements. The 1-sequence (single card) and 2-sequence (two consecutive cards) must not contain any jokers. A hand with this structure is worth 6 augmentations.

=== Wins based on specific cards ===

'''Season trip''': A hand containing three identical season cards is worth 3 augmentations if the set in question is open, and 6 if the set is concealed.

'''Direction trip''': A hand containing three identical direction cards is worth 1 augmentation if the set in question is open, and 3 if the set is concealed.

'''Four seasons''': A hand containing a four seasons quad is worth 4 counters.

'''Four directions''': A hand containing a four directions quad is worth 3 counters.

'''Seat direction''': Each instance of the winning player's seat direction in their hand is worth 2 counters.

'''Set of round number''': A set with the round number is worth a number of counters equivalent to two less than its size, for instance, a three-card set of the round number is worth 1 counter while a six-card set is worth 4.

'''No jokers''': A hand with no jokers, while not a formation, is worth 6 counters.

'''One joker''': A hand with one joker, while not a formation, is worth 3 counters.

'''Four flags''': A hand that contains each of the four cards with rank 10 is worth 10 counters.

=== Suit-based wins ===

'''Half flush''': A hand consisting solely of major cards and minor cards in a single suit is worth 2 augmentations if open, and 3 if concealed.

'''Split flush''': A hand consisting solely of minor cards in two different suits is worth 1 augmentation if open, and 2 if concealed.

'''Full flush''': A hand consisting solely of minor cards in a single suit is worth 4 augmentations if open, and 6 if concealed.

'''All majors''': A hand consisting solely of major cards is worth 5 augmentations.

=== Sequence-based wins ===

'''All sequences''': A hand consisting solely of sequences is worth 2 augmentations if open, and 4 if concealed.

'''Full sequence''': A combination of melds that can be joined into a sequence from 0 to 9 (or 1 to 10) in a single suit is worth 3 augmentations if any part of it is open, and 6 if concealed.

'''Extended cycle''': A combination of melds that can be joined into an elemental cycle longer than 6 cards is worth 4 augmentations if any part of it is open, and 8 if concealed. In addition, a counter is added for every card above the 6-card baseline, so an 8-long extended cycle is worth 2 counters.

'''Identical sequences''': A hand containing two sequences of exactly the same cards (allowing for joker substitutions) is worth 3 augmentations if the sequences are both trips, and 4 augmentations if they are both larger than trips.

'''Equivalent sequences''': A hand containing three sequences of the same ranks in different suits (allowing for joker substitutions) is worth 2 augmentations if the sequences are all trips, and 3 augmentations if they are all larger than trips.

=== Set-based wins ===

'''Pure quad set''': A four-card set with no jokers is worth 8 counters.

'''All sets''': A hand consisting solely of sets is worth 4 augmentations if open, and 12 if concealed.

'''Two equivalent sets''': A hand containing two sets of the same rank in different suits is worth 2 augmentations if the sets are both trips, and 3 augmentations if they are both larger than trips.

'''Three equivalent sets''': A hand containing three sets of the same rank in different suits is worth 6 augmentations if the sets are all trips, and 8 augmentations if they are all larger than trips.
