Definition
A quint is a set of five identical tiles, which always requires at least one joker since only four of any natural tile exist.
Quints appear on specific card lines and are the main reason to hold jokers when a hand offers one. They can be called from a discard and exposed like a pung or kong.

See it on real tiles: the coach reads any hand and names its direction, free, at the free read. Members get the coach on call for their own games.
