Neighbours
Neighbours rewards pongs of consecutive numbers in one suit — for example triplets of 5, 6, and 7 circles. Two in a row score 5 points, three score 15, four score 30, and five score 60. The full five-pong version is also recognised as the Neighbours (Uncles) limit hand.
A worked example
Sequential same-suit pongs. 2 = 5pts, 3 = 15pts, 4 = 30pts, 5 = 60pts.
Pong of 5o + 6o + 7o = 3 sequential neighbours (15 pts). Uses non-adjacent values to prevent sheung parsing.
