number of tiles played, Japanese plays a 13+1(draw/ron) tile hand while Chinese plays a 16+1(draw/ron) tile hand
Japanese
3-3-3-3-2
Chinese
3-3-3-3-3-2

scoring is also different
Chinese plays with Flower tiles that gives you points and warrants a dead wall draw. I believe chinese tiles don't have doras though

Y'all are going down this weekend. I have a ton of experience in mahjong with single player computer games, as well as going over to play in mahjong parlor sometimes. Also, whenever I go to my relatives, there is always a game of mahjong going on. Combined with my experiences of watching cheesy/classic Chinese mahjong movies, I can't lose!

If only CSheep did not have that study abroad trip...

Blast, Chinese is 3-3-3-3-2, with a 13+1 tile set.

Also, what stakes are we playing?
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

All Pongs are 3 Points. I know how to count points, so we're fine. Obviously we should play at least a one-point minimum because there would be no point in playing chicken hands with zero points, thus zero money to earn.

Mahjong confuses me to no end. I've got a set, and ie played it a bunch of times, but I still have no idea how to play it any differently than just flipping over tiles until someone wins.

Go read Legend of Koizumi, it'll teach you all about the game.

QFT.

Play casual mahjong at my mates place every weekend. Have a badass mahjong auto-shuffling table which makes us feel totally boss. Game is fantastic but scoring, to be honest, is what drags the game down.

Hongkong rules, bah.
Happy to see more TL mahjong players though. Hope you guys have a good time!

Edit: Also TENNA TOORI NO KAIDANJI (well, if you ignore the beginning chapters) is the best mahjong manga I've ever read. Akagi? Cheap knock-off.

Okay, the definition doesn't really apply but still do not change the fact that it is a spin-off. Either way l"ll try not to detract from the topic anymore.

Edit: @rgfdxm
Yeah, I really should stop solely relying on emoticons to communicate that I am not serious. I concur that Akagi is awesome though that washizu game is going on foreverrrrr hot damn. If you didn't see the manga, I highly recommend it. That is where Akagi initally came from.

I guess that came out harsher than I intended, I actually appreciate the recommendation. Akagi (the anime) was what sparked my interest in mahjong to begin with, and last time I went to Japan I picked up 15 volumes or so of it.

It's actually pretty simple than it looks. Just refer to this thread:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=111078
I'll try to answer any other questions you might have.
