        Well how else do you manage difficulty on what's essentially a luck of the draw game other than giving the heart of the pieces to the opponents.

          By having the opponents play better with the pieces they have, like remembering obscure hands that regular human players don't think of.
          I dunno, mahjong is just a bizarre game to make a video game out of because it's naturally so slow and uneventful. It's like putting Bridge in GTA.

          unironically, yes.
          Washizu mahjong is brilliant storytelling and you'd never know it if you only watched the anime.
          Initially Akagi arrives and looks like the underdog, someone who will have to use all of his tricks and skills to win. But as the games progress, it slowly starts falling into place that Washizu is the victim here and that Akagi is a demon from hell sent to strike him down and you believe it.
          It's a reversal of roles I haven't really seen done in such a fashion before or since.

      There is no mathematical way that this shit didn't turn into glacial autism where even the hardcore fan didn't just speedread an entire volume or quit the series for a few years hoping to move on.

      Play mahjong souls vs bots, there's a basic tutorial to get your started. The basics are very simple.
      Then you keep that image opened on a 2nd monitor or tab and you grind the game hard.
      First skill set is picking which hand you want to build, then memorizing all winning hand to expand your available move pool. Then once you know everything about the game you can focus on the meta like which tiles have more values, what your opponents are playing etc.

      Personally I don't find the game particularly fun to learn nor interesting to master, but I think it's indeniable that it's addicting to some extent. My best memories is being a shitter and playing with all my shitter friends.

      I think anon is saying the reason is obvious. He's probably referring to Ryanpeikou.

      But the deeper reason is that you can interpret your hands for the highest possible value but if a yaku implies another by its very definition you can't add the other. A junchan implies chanta, but you can't add chanta to it.

      And so Ryanpeikou takes precedence over Chitoi with 3 han instead of 2. Interpreting the hand as Ryanpeikou would also not make it able to even apply for Chitoitsu.

      But yeah I think "allowed" to interpret the hand as the highest possible means you technically COULD choose lower value hands. So you could just say "it's only a chitoi". Or if you have a wait like 3345 waiting on 3-6 and you ron 3, you can choose to NOT declare pinfu and say the hand was 345 and you ronned the 3 as a single wait.

        I'm pretty sure this one isn't allowed, because it allows for shady stunts like intentionally misinterpreting your hand to prevent knocking someone out of the game early.

        And hope nobody notices the extra 3/your hand being 1 tile short?

            The fates never have - it is a thin line that separates man from the dogs, one mistake can send a soul plummeting to depths it had never imagined. Riichi Mahjong perfectly captures this fragility of being.

    In reality Mahjong is all about getting rid of your other colors, so you at least get a multiplier from that, while hoping that other players don’t end it too quickly by playing a trash game. Every now and then someone gets an insane multiplier from all the extra flower stones they have, being East and playing a pure colored game.
    I played hundreds of games and I only witnessed someone playing one of these extremely rare special games only once.

        What the fuck did you just say? Was this AI-written? The fuck is a flower stone?

        It‘s the mahjong I play with my family.
        Flower and season stones are stones you pick up from the wall. They are special stones, which give you a certain amount of points and let you pick another stone, because they don’t count as part of the game. And if your flower/season stone correspond to your cardinal direction you get a multiplier.

        Do you not play with them?

        I am curious. Do you also often get screwed over when going for a Gang (four of a kind) instead a Chi (three of a kind)? Because with our rules it‘s almost always a mistake to do that.

            No one plays American or Chinese mahjong or whatever your family plays, online they all play riichi mahjong.

            Why is the deviant version more popular than the original? Seems strange to me.

            there's an equivalent in 3-player riichi where you can play a North tile (the missing seat) for 1 han (basically x2)
            going for Kan can make the game more dangerous in that it adds an extra dora tile (each dora in a successful hand counts as another han) so it's technically not safe but it makes the game more interesting and you're a bitch if you don't

            We don’t have a missing seat tho. It’s 4 players, 4 cardinal directions.

                Chinese mahjong is a luckshitter's paradise.
                Riichi is a game of skill.

                Why?

                1. Because weebs want to play the Japanese version
                2. Because the rules are better and create a more strategic game. Hong Kong is the only other ruleset I have played, so I can't speak for all of them... but it is the world's most played ruleset. Furiten and yaku minimum are saving the game from being shit where you just zerg rush whatever sets of 3 you want as quick as possible so other people don't get points.

        All bad ideas. Too many terminals and honours for tanyao, chanta is too far away and would necessitate giving up two akadora, and toitoi is way too far away with only two pairs. Personally I toss north and 8m/8p, holding on to red/green dragons hoping to pair one up for a quick yakuhai dora 2. If the rest of the hand fills out before I pair up a yakuhai tile I throw them and go for riichi.

          1 of every wind and dragon, and 1 of every 1 and 9, and then 1 tile again of any of those. 13 Orphans.
          However, there are other hands that require a focus on terminals.
          Half Outside Hand, for instance, requires all your melds to include at least 1 terminal. So triplets of 1s and 9s, or sequences of 1-2-3 or 7-8-9, etc.

      Riichi - Keep you hand closed

      Chiitoitsu - All pairs
      Tanyao - All simples(no terminals and honors) (can be opened)
      Toitoi - All triplets(can be opened)
      Yakuhai - 3 of any dragon tile (can be opened)

      As long as as you keep playing, learning and remembering Yaku is easy. As general rule, If you hand looks hard to achieve or sexy, It's a yaku for example same sequence in all 3 different suits or all in one suit and/or honors. I also recommend you keep your hand closed as most yaku are closed only.

      The game has fake pauses every now and then but generally it's good to be as prompt as possible anyway. Like, if you ever play in real life, there's no pon/chi timer. If you don't call that shit before the next person draws their tile you missed your chance, no backsies. You want to know well in advance if and what you want to call, rather than only starting to think about it when the popup comes up.

      there is a dead wall and at the start of the game one tile is flipped to be visible. the next tile in the same sequence gives you an extra point if your hand wins. so if the dead wall's visible tile is 5 pin, then if you were to win a hand that has a triplet of 6 pin you would get a point for each one.

      When someone calls Kan to make a quad, that results in another tile on the dead wall being flipped to be visible. this time let's say it's the green dragon tile. honor tiles have their own sequence, but if your hand was yakuhai meaning you have a triple of dragon tiles and you did it with red dragon that would mean another 3 points, one for each red dragon because it is considered to come after green dragon.

      finally, there is ura Dora. That dead wall is actually stacked two high. if you call riichi and then win, not only do you add score based on the available Dora tiles on top, now you get to flip some of the bottom dead wall tiles as well. If one of those was another 5 pin, now each of your 6 pin in the triplet give you two points on top of everything else.

      It’s literally like poker where you just be efficient and make the correct play, until you know you are playing another skilled opponent then it becomes more free form.

      My personal favorite is purposely sitting on a shit wait because I know a skilled player would not expect such a shit wait

        And that's what so good about it.
        It reveals who Tonegawa really is, he's just some suit who has to deal with Hyoudo, who is clearly deranged, even in Kaiji.

        Tonegawa is not a genius, he's just a hardworking salaryman who does his best.

            He did not act like a normal salaryman there. Normal salarymen don't get on the branding iron. He was absurdly above and beyond the standard pay grade to display that this callous, mocking bastard can take it as well as he dishes it out.

        Anon Kaiji has always been a bit wacky under the stakes. Kaiji is a bit bumbling, and Hyoudou is literally an indescribably evil crazy old man. All of Teiai is a corporation at the beck and call of a senile old crazy bastard.

      Yeah, there's a shitload of Jap terminology to learn if you don't want to bumble around calling things "edge waits" and "protoruns" sounding like a moron. The first time I read a mahjong thread I thought they were just reciting the Uchiha Madara copypasta as an inside joke but now I can tell you all about yakuhai atozukes and the takame/yasume for mentanpin dora dora.
