         12 . The method, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein one of said qualifying groups comprises at least two said dice with two of the same kind of mahjongg symbols.  
     
     
         13 . The method, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein one of said qualifying groups comprises at least three said dice with three of the same kind of mah-jongg symbols.
