History
This kind of gambling was somewhat similar to Mah-jong, but at the same time, much more concise when compared to Mah-jong. There were altogether 108 cards, and each card had a certain quant.i.ty of Spirit Qi attached to it. These cards were also called as 'flags' since one could use them as Array Flags. When gambling, each person drew 12 cards and then used the 'flags' at hand to arrange an array formation.

Because the 12 Array Flags contained 12 different quant.i.ties of Spirit Qi, those flags can potentially form many different array formations depending on the various permutations and combinations. These Spirit Qi Cards had different Spirit Qi values attached to them, randomly divided between 1-line Spirit Qi Flag and all the way up to 99-line Spirit Qi Flag. After every shuffle of these 108 cards, the lines of Spirit Qi would change at random.
