3 player Mahjong is generally the same as regular Mahjong, with a few changes.

1) All Manzi tiles are removed from the wall with the exception of 1's and 9's, presumably to leave several Yakuman hands in tact. Also, this is unconfirmed but something I noticed, while 9 Man normally means the 1 Man is the dora, in 3 player I think the 1 Man means the 9 Man is the dora. Someone would have to confirm this.

2) No Chi'ing allowed.

3) You can 'kui' Pei tiles. This means that you place the Pei to your right and draw one more tile. Each Pei added in this way adds 1 han to the value of your hand as if it were a dora tile, and it doesn't affect any yaku in your hand. For example, Tan Yao.

Of course, kui'ing your Pei may have unrelated consequences. Pic related.
