Wow! How did he make this super complicated game so clear? Also........ngl this man has a PLEASANT voice 👀- more videos please!

@accountid9681 6 ай бұрын

well, I think if he went into yaku, closed/open hands, and the prevailing/personal wind the video would be more comprehensive, but also 3 hours long

I just learned to play Mahjong from a friend today and it was so fun! We struggled with the setup mechanics so this was super helpful! Btw, I've heard some sets (or at least my friend's 😅) may not come with flower tiles. Is that unusual? Does that change the setup mechanic or any other aspect of the game? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏾

Yeah, this is a great teaching video. Do you have any playthrough videos with this form of Mahjong? I want to learn this ruleset and feel that watching an actual game being played would only further my understanding. Thank you!

Doesn't have to be an american set -- you can find labelled chinese sets if you look around. My first set was a chinese set and was labelled.

i have a question, so when you have a flower, you will take one more tiles, but to the end of the wall, right? of the gong too right?

@MahjongSparrow 5 ай бұрын

Yes exactly, you draw a tile from the end of the walls only when you draw a flower or when you Gong.

hong kong basic is so much more simple than riichi, I've gotta remember under the river, big 3 dragons, and the titular riichi to even sit down in a japanese style game, not to mention scoring.
