Kon mín yéung, "pursuing sheep," is played with 6 dice of the largest size. It is a game played for small stakes, usually for something to eat, and is seldom resorted to by professional gamblers.

In it the player throws until he gets 3 alike, when the sum of the spots on the other dice is counted.

The throws in the order of their rank are: Six "sixes" called tái min yéung, "large sheep"; Six "fives," "fours," "threes," "twos," or "ones," called min yéung kung, "rams." Three alike and "six, six, five," called min yéung ná, "ewes." Three alike and the other throws than the above. These are designated by the number representing the sum of the throws with the 3 odd dice.

The throws, tái min yéung and min yéung kung, take all the stakes. If min yéung ná, or any other cast of 3 alike, is made, the next player throws until he gets 3 alike, when he pays if his throw is lower, or is paid if it is higher, as in sing luk.

The throw of 3 "fours" is called wong p'ang fúi, concerning the origin of which name the following story is related:

A boy and girl were betrothed by their parents. The girl's father died, and the family having been reduced to poverty, her brother sold the girl to become a prostitute. This she resented, and anxious to find her betrothed, whose face she well remembered, she caused it to be advertised that she would yield herself to the man who could throw 3 "fours" with the dice. Many, attracted by her beauty, tried and failed, until her husband, Wong p'ang fúi, who had obtained the rank of kái ún, or senior wrangler at the provincial examination, presented himself. For him she substituted loaded dice, with which he threw 3 ''fours," whereupon she disclosed herself, and they were happily united.
