Does /v/ play any mahjong games?

Ron.

>>719088242
nothing wrong with me

>>719088242
>trying to ron a closed kan

>>719088180 (OP)
I just played a game and lost because that nigger game only gave me shitty slow hands that can't reach tenpai before the other players.
I love mahjong.

Here's your mahjong game bro.

how do you play mahjong im too american umfortunately

>>719090514
you have to watch mahjong anime to learn.

>>719090514
collect triplets and straights and one pair
if you dont know what youre doing, dont call
ez

>>719088242
>prefer riichi city
>take break
>miss the collab
god dammit

>>719090514
just push the shiny buttons when they appear every single time

>>719090514
It's like 7 card stud but you have 13 cards and the hands are 13 cards long and have bet multipliers. And also you keep drawing cards.
Basically, it's nothing like 7 card stud.

I wish I could play Mahjong Fight Girl more

>>719088519
He's waiting for 13-wait kokushi, and could tell Luigi used a cheated closed kan to get rid of a terminal tile.

>>719088519
What's wrong with ron on a closed kan?

Yeah but despite playing for a couple years I have yet to actually finish a yakuman.

doko?

>>719091793
yakuman are just luck

Id rather play with Mahdong

>>719091793
I got triple yakuman once and that was probably the luckiest I'll ever be in mahjong.

>>719091793
Got a Nagashi mangan once, literally never seen it again

>>719088320
Two

>>719090939
They put out a MFG for net cafe version, so a normal PC port like Bombergirl got isn't out of the question

>>719091793
Only a retard would hand you the last dragon when you have a pon of the other two.

As for me, played MJS for a year and got several yakumans, but only the simplest ones (daisangen, suuankou, kokushi)

>>719090514
3+3+3+3+2=win
3 can be 3 of a kind or a sequence like 123, 345, 678, etc and have to be the same suit.

You can only hold 13 tiles, meaning you can't hold onto a win when you draw the 14th tile.
And if you throw it away, you can't win later at all unless you change you winning tile(s).

Pon>taking someone else's tile to finish a 3 of a kind (has priority over Chii)
Chii>taking the person to your left's tile to finish a sequence
Kan>You turn a 3 of a kind into a 4 of a kind and reveal a tile in the Indicator wall, which shows you 1 tile nobody can draw and also tells you "the next tile in sequence is worth extra points" This counts as a 3 of a kind for winning purposes.
Kita>(3-player only, turns a North into points and draws a new tile)
Riichii>You are claiming you can win with 1 more tile and you have no called anyone else's tiles (a Kan with 4 from in-hand is safe for Riichii), this is the most common win condition

In order to actually win, you have to meet one of many "win conditions."
There are other rules building on this, but that's the core.

>>719095129
>And if you throw it away, you can't win later at all unless you change you winning tile(s).
why even mention this especially if you're gonna present it so misleadingly

Be forewarned...

>>719095196
You literally can't win (except on the very last turn which just doesn't happen) if you directly throw away one of your winning tiles.
Choosing not to win off of someone else is a different action.

>>719093921
same
1 in a thousand games

>>719088242
Standard Jr

>>719095362
It's such a nuanced rule that it's really not worth bringing up when listing off the extreme fundamentals to someone like this. You're making it sound way worse than it actually is, especially since it just means you can't call ron and not that you "can't win at all"

>>719095237
>competitive betting games
lmao a perfect scam

>>719091585
Against the rules mate

I played every RGG game this year and never even tried learning mahjong
did I fuck up?

>>719091793
>open daisangen
what made you think any of this was a good idea

>>719096423
That is objectively 100% the best play there, stop being a retard

>>719096516
or you could have gone for another set to complete your hand

>>719096802
Worse EV, especially with the point totals

ROOOOOOOOOOM

>>719095237
mad because bad

>>719095237
Replace mahjong with chess, go, checkers, gachi, card games, fps games or just about everything else, and this idiot with anger problems would have still sperged out over it.

How do chinamen get so good at this game

>>719099658
yeah, that's the conclusion i always come to with these sorts of things - people who get angry enough to hurt or kill others over video games are mentally ill, they're going to find a way to do it no matter what
its not like mahjong soul allows you to trash talk besides spamming >>719099071 at your opponents, so it might as well be triggered by solitaire

Are there any games or anime that actually explain the rules?

>>719099969
>it's not like "literally proceeds to mention the likely cause of the event"

>get a bunch of honor and end tiles in opening hand
>game goes out of its way to give me a 13 orphans over the course of the round
thanks ig

>>719101392
if looking at a picture of a cat causes you to throw tables at people you should be sterilized

>>719099658
gachi you say?

>>719101042
if you need an explainer game I'd look for a newer release, so many of them (including modern online ones) either assume you already know the rules or were for old consoles and it was cheaper to put the rules in the manual. Maybe the switch board game collection has an explanation.

>>719101514
nigga you don't understand

>>719101042
I learned the basics of riichi mahjong by playing 51 Clubhouse Games on Switch. >Teaches you the basic flow of the game
>There's a menu to check the different yaku as well as the recommended yaku to aim for with your current hand
>Option for the tiles to have the number in the corner to help with reading the manzu characters etc.
>Shows your waits when discarding to enter tenpai
>Playing against CPUs means you can take your time to make decisions

The only thing I didn't pick up and had to learn myself was the fact that taking discards opens your hand and prevents certain yaku from being valid

>>719102247
>I know the yaku and the rules. that means I know how to play
that's cute

>>719102247
>>719102247
>taking discards opens your hand and prevents certain yaku from being valid
right, opening the hand. Closed is harder and thus more valuable. The other thing newbies will struggle with forever (more for your replied to anon than you) is furiten, aka if you discard a tile, you can't win off of that tile later. Like if you discard a white dragon and then later you have all but one white dragon needed to win, you are furiten and you can't win. Newbies will fuck this up for a long time, but don't sweat it. It's a tricky thing to get used to.

>>719102485
I mean we all have to start somewhere. Your ass was not shigeru akagi straight out the womb

>>719102708
>he wasn't born rising from the magical sands

>>719102640
>you can't win
You can't win by ron. You can still win by tsumo if you're in furiten

>>719101042
Mahjong Soul actually has a really good set of tutorials/lessons now. They used to have something super rudimentary but they improved it a lot in the past...yearish? Maybe a year ago?

>>719095129
>Kita
I still don't understand why they didn't translate it to Pei

>>719101042
The two anime online clients with english language (Mahjong Soul and Riichi City) both have decent tutorial. And you can always play with CPU to learn the basics until you're ready.
RC even has a dualingo-like mode to learn yaku, find winning tiles, count points, etc.

>>719103118
Likely: Translation error using the wrong reading of 北, then once they got the UI graphics done, it was too late to fix it. And Riichi City only came to exist to cash in on Mahjong Soul audience, so they copied the terminology, mistakes and all.

>>719103625
>pic
Is the answer 2, 3, 9? That feels too unorthodox so there's probably others I'm missing.

I got chiihou once and it's the luckiest I've ever been in Mahjong

>>719103625
359 complete I believe.

>>719104512
And the 2 aslo complete it.

>>719104251
>>719104251
Wrong, here is the answer.
If we assume 333p is a triplet and 55p a pair, we can have 333 55 456 789 and 78 waiting on 6 and 9
Or we can have 333 55 789 789 and 45 waiting on 3 and 6
If we assume 555p is a triplet and 33p a pair we can have 33 555 678 789 and 34 waiting on 2 and 5
Or we can have 333 555 678 789 and 4 waiting on 4 to complete a pair

i got ron'd on a pei call and didn't know that could happen

>>719104998
Look at the tiles, those are 3s, not tiles used for kokushi.

>>719105201
>swaps your 3sou kan with 1sous from the pond while you're distracted reading the rulebook

Buy an automatic table

>>719091793
I got two yakuman within these four days, a suuankou and my first (I think) counted one.
Play sanma, it's a yakuman farm.

>>719105748
no

>>719105748
>buy automatic table
>collects dust because I'm a friendless loser
Yeah sounds good.

>>719105748
I would if they weren't so expensive

>>719101042
Touhou Gensou Mahjong has a very extensive tutorial that starts you out with a basic form of the game(Tibet rules). It's just very expensive.

>>719105748
Can autotables be set for s*nma if I don't have a 4th player?

>>719108074
Yes, any Japanese one will let you do that at least
If you try to play on a Chinese auto table, probably not

Mahjong Soul, Tenhou, and Sega MJ are the only mahjong clients I play on.
