Day

Asian Card Games (Pai Gow Tiles)

The name of the second-highest ranking single tile in Pai Gow Tiles, represented by the [1-1] domino (two ones). The Day tile, paired with a nine, forms a “Day Wong” (ranking 18th); paired with an eight, forms a “Day Gong” (ranking 20th). The Day tile’s high symbolic ranking gives it significant value even when used in numeric hands.

In practice

Pai Gow Tiles ranking is based on Chinese symbolism rather than numeric values. The Day tile [1-1] outranks most other tiles despite its low pip count. New dealers require extensive training to memorize the non-intuitive tile rankings.
