Steam Store description

17 Steps is a fast-paced, highly strategic mahjong duel inspired by the classic Japanese mahjong variant “Juu Nana Ho” — Seventeen Steps. There is no slow hand-building here. From the very beginning, both players are already one step away from victory. The real battle begins after the hands are locked. A Duel Decided in 17 Moves At the start of each round, both players receive 34 tiles . From these, you choose 13 tiles to form a ready hand. The remaining 21 tiles become your discard candidates for the duel. Your initial choice shapes the entire round. Do you aim for a higher-value hand? Do you choose a hidden wait that is harder to read? Or do you leave yourself safer options for defense? Once both players confirm their hands, the 17-step duel begins. No Tsumo. Ron Only. During the duel, there is no drawing and no self-draw win. Players take turns discarding one tile from their candidate discard pool. There is only one way to win: Make your opponent discard the tile you are waiting for. If you discard your opponent’s winning tile, they win. If your opponent discards your winning tile, you win. If no one wins within 17 moves, the round ends in a draw. Pure Defensive Mind Games No chi. No pon. No kan. No tsumo. Only the sharpest parts of mahjong remain: Reading, hiding, baiting, and surviving. Every discard is a risk. Every safe-looking tile might be a trap. You must read your opponent’s possible waits while hiding your own. In 17 Steps, victory is not about drawing the perfect tile. It is about making your opponent make the wrong move.
