In an example play,
If a player plays 3 tiles on the table, e.g. 3 1s. and the next player cannot or does not want to beat these tiles. They may sacrifice a tile on the outer border of their row (either side), face down, giving it as a point to the current controlling player. and then pick any of the tiles on the outer rows of the played 3s. if they had already collected point tiles, they can choose sacrifice a point tile instead of one from their hand.
The game ends when one player has shedded all their tiles.
Remaining tiles are treated as minus points.
Winner is whoever collected the most upside down tiles after the minus points have been counted.
