Where I used to play it, it was easier to get one point/tai. Nah, we are just talking about the Mahjong anime and Kogoro Mouri(Detective Conan) who often plays it as well ^_^ | ||

I somehow don't want to play with you anymore And yeah, I'm normally a person who builds random hands and hopes for the best in the end. It works on the beginner's level in non-japanese mahjong. T_T It's not difficult. When you first get your hand, take a look and see what you can do with it. Do you have a lot of the same suit? Go for honitsu or chinitsu. Lots of pairs? Go toi toi or chiitoitsu. Otherwise, your best bet is to go for yakuhai or an open tanyao. The early game is all about probability. I'm definitely not a pro. There's a lot of strategy and stuff behind comparing discards to determine waits, and I can't do any of that stuff. I absolutely suck at wait reading.  Have a mahjong blog: http://www.osamuko.com/ Edit: Some more tips - when somebody is in riichi, do NOT put out dangerous tiles. This includes dora, honors, and the round/seat wind tiles. Otherwise you're asking for pain. If somebody has openly pon'd two different honors, for the love of god, don't discard the third. Dealing into a yakuman is a horrible experience. | ||

Consider it a card game, but instead of cards, you use tiles. A set of tiles either one of the following: a "run" of three (eg. 4-5-6 of one suit), or three of the same tile (eg. 6-6-6 of one suit). To win, you need four complete sets in addition to one matching pair of tiles. You know what, explaining all this is really hard. Too much stuff to explain.Edit: @Sentenal: That Kircheis picture was exactly the one I was looking for lol | ||

It'll go back up with the introduction of Tenri, then up again when they introduce Sumire, then maybe Yui (I don't really like her because of what happened after her arc). I wonder if the anime will bother with the + Show Spoiler + | ||

(the TL app is ao primitive and i had my android keyboard...so slow) 16 tiles vs 13 tiles Chinese has no Riichi Japanese has no Flower Tiles (1 Flower Tile is basically a Kan) Bonus points+Dead wall Draw ummm wait let me fetch the list To Spazer's Credit # There is no organized discard pool in Cantonese # The concept of furiten does not exist in Cantonese # Riichi does not exist in Cantonese # Neither dora or red tiles exist in Cantonese # There are no flower tiles in Japanese # The Japanese point system is more complex since score is determined by a combination of fu and han as opposed to just fan. The Japanese system also counts points by hundreds as opposed to powers of two. # Japanese mahjong has no "chicken" hand (though getting a winning hand still isn't that hard because of open tanyao and yakuhai). # The list of yaku (possible scoring hands) in Japanese mahjong is larger # In Japanese, the player that deals out the winning piece pays the entire worth of the hand. In Cantonese, all players must pay the person with the winning hand, although the person that dealt the winning tile must pay more. | ||

Is there a English site where we could play Japanese mahjong together? Lucumo and I played the Chinese version for a bit right now (I'm even worse at that), but I think the Japanese version feels more interesting. | ||
