Huh...!! well, in 13 cards, the rule is to have at least one TAI/F'on to win..!! However, it is rarely you could see no TAI/F'on win in 16 cards..!!! So now, you know why I didn't even wanna talk about it..!!

I think it funny!!!!!
LOL!!!!
here is my take....
....there are a total of 144 cards available?
Right...
if we play 16 cards...with 4 players....that means...right of the bat...65 cards has been draw already..(16 for each player and the dealer gets an extra one to start off)....so there are 79 cards left...but...once we get to 16 cards left....that's is tie...you get to play again....nobody win that round.
So right of the bat....there are only 63 cards available...(144-65-16=63 not even counting the 8 wild cards(flower)) So if you divide the 63 by 4....assuming nobody...takes up a card from the player next to you...then each player could only take up 15 cards each as they play...with this in mind...the combination of cards needed to win deminishes...since each player holds most of the cards already.
if we play 13 cards...with 4 players......that means...right of the bat....53 cards has been draw already....(13 for each player and the dealer gets an extra one to start off)...so there are 91 cards left...but...once we get to 16 cards left...that's it tie....you get to play again...nobody win that round.
So with 13 card game...there are 85 cards available...(144-53-16=85 not even counting the 8 wild cards(flower) So if you divide the 85 by 4....assuming nobody..takes up a card from the player next to you....then each player could take 21 cards that's 6 more card than the 16 CARD GAME...with this is mind...the combination needed to win increase..hence...you could build stronger hand that the 16 CARD GAME.....
I know this confusing for people who don't know the game...but I am sure someone will agree....
