===Military suit===
The military tiles are named and ranked according to the total pips or points on the tiles.  For example, the "nines" (3-6 and 4-5) rank higher than the "eights" (2-6 and 3-5). The rankings of the individual tiles are similar in most games.  However, the ranking of combinations of tiles is slightly different in Pai Gow and Tien Gow.

Since there is only one of each military tile, these are usually grouped in four mixed "pairs" of equivalent total points: nines, eights, sevens, and fives; for example, the 3-6 and 4-5 tiles "match" because they have same total points (nine) and both are in the military suit.  Among the military tiles, individual tiles of the same pair rank equally, such as 1-4 and 2-3, each totaling five.

The 2-4 (six) and 1-2 (three) military tiles also are paired together in many games despite the nominal difference in total points. They are the only tiles in the entire set that have no corresponding tile in the military suit, considering sums. In Pai Gow both of these tiles may be scored as three or six, depending on which is more advantageous. This pair when played together is considered a suit on its own, called the ''gi jun'' ({{lang|zh|至尊}} supreme).<ref name=Culin-58/>{{rp|116}}  It is the highest ranking pair in the game of Pai Gow, though the tiles rank low individually (in their normal order).  When either tile of this pair is played individually in the game of Tien Gow, each takes its regular ranking according to the total points among the other military suit tiles.
