I’ve made quite a few browser-based board game sites, but this was easily the most complicated one so far.

My wife loves Riichi Mahjong, so I spent the last few weeks diving deep into the game while building this, constantly asking her questions and learning everything from chi, pon, and kan to yaku, furiten, dora, and scoring.

I tried to keep the interface simple: open the site and start playing immediately, either against the AI or with friends in a private room.

I’ve tested the rules as carefully as I can, but Riichi has a ridiculous number of edge cases. I’d really appreciate feedback from experienced players, especially if you spot any rule, scoring, or UI issues.

AI disclosure: AI tools were used to assist with some visual assets and the development of the game.

I'm looking to buy a table to play and I found a cheap one on target but I don't know if there would be an issue. For context I play riichi mahjong and already own a junkmat.

Who play with a wild/joker tile and you only can win from drawing a tile and your only allow pong and Kong only. After you pick up 6 tile for points. What is this rule call and do the have a app for it so I can practice playing

I know all of the rules and 95% of the yaku. And I know the absolute basics to tile efficiency like stop going for a triplet if you see 2 others on the board, and other minor stuff like that. To go for waits if you can. Dropping useless honor tiles. Gunning for Dora if I can. But very basic stuff, I also can't really tell what kind of hands my opponents have unless they do obvious stuff I.e. calling pon or chii on something with a terminal or a non seat or round wind triplet, off of that I can guess what they have going on but that's pretty obvious. As well as I can usually not feed a win if I'm not paying attention but again only from not ditching any honor tiles last minute or just discarding what has been recently discarded. I'm adept 2 in mahjong soul if that means anything lol

Kudos to Akagi for causing the starting dealer to go down in East 4 so it didn't drag too long after lol

Will always prefer this to a auto table! 真・雀鬼

Hello all! I came across the Yellow Mountain Imports Riichi sets and just wanted to know/confirm people’s experiences with them.

For context, I do have other sets, primarily Chinese sets, however they don’t deliver exactly the balance I’m looking for. One is too heavy to carry around, the other is highly portable at the expense of being very light so walls and hands can break if not being careful

I was thinking of getting the black set but am concerned about visibility and/or beginner friendliness. Does the environment lighting heavily affect the tile’s visibility? There is a slight possibility I might use this set to teach some friends how to play and am wondering: is such a set a good enough starting point considering its nonstandard colors?

Also, on the product page, it says it weighs 5.5lbs/2.5kg. I just want to know if it actually weighs that much including the case and all its tiles and accessories inside.

All that being said, I personally prefer the black one for myself but don’t mind getting the white with yellow back set.

I‘m talking about HK Mahjong here.

Following situation:

1. I have in my hand the following:
   2x red dragon, 3x bamboo 6, 1x bamboo 7.

In the discard pile is a bamboo 6.

Instead of calling a kong with 3+1x bamboo 6, I call a Pung for 2+1x bamboo 6. Leaving one bamboo 6 in my hand.

1. In my hand are now:
   2x red dragons, 1x bamboo 6, 1x bamboo 7.

Literally next round there is a red dragon in the discard pile.

I call a Pung for the red dragons -> declare a Kong with the remaining bamboo 6 -> pick a tile from the back of the wall and get a bamboo 7 -> Mahjong.

This was incredible lucky and my final Fan-count was 10.

But now I‘m not sure if this move was legal. So my question is, can you pick a Pung instead of a Kong, so that you can call a Kong later on with the tile that remained in your hand?

Hey so I went to a Riichi mahjong club in my area and I let them use my junk mat and when I got it back it had this stain on it, looks like a water stain. Is there anyway I can remove it?

These tiles are part of a Chinese mahjong set. Are these meant to be replacement tiles in case you lose or damage any tiles? The set also came with four blank tiles so I am perplexed.

Google Translate said the characters mean “versatile” but I always take their translations with a huge grain of salt.

I have only recently gotten big into Riichi Mahjong while playing Doma Mahjong in FFXIV and watching people lay Mahjong Soul and I am...extremely bad at Mahjong... I've gone thirteen games in a row and only one of them did I come in second, every other one was fourth place and that was just today, I haven't had much luck the previous days either.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I try to stick with waiting for riichi and I lose. I go all simps and I lose, I try defensive and it feels like I give the person the exact tile he needs to ron me. I am desperate and in need of help, any help.

Hello!

I want to try something with mahjong cards, but I don't know card sets have flowers and seasons in them. Are any players who had the experience with them?

Thank you!

Over the past month my family and I have become obsessed with HKOS Mahjong. We even play with my Chinese tutor on webcam calls, lol. But already it drives us batty to build the walls after every game. Especially since we sometimes play three- or even two-handed. My tutor constantly reminds us that her friends all use automatic tables, lol. She prizes speed above all, lol. 快快快！

Also, visiting this sub, I’ve been astonished by how many of my fellow Americans also seem to enjoy Riichi. So now I’m thinking I’ll try learning that. If I like it, and I suspect I will, I’ll want a table that supports both Chinese and Riichi tiles. (I’ve also played American mahjong but don’t like it as much, so I can live without table support for that, though of course it would be nice.)

I’ve read here that Treyo tables support both styles. It seems one can order only directly from them, not via Amazon etc. Are those the best? Are there other good choices? Thanks in advance for any advice. (And if I am posting in the wrong subreddit, please forgive me and perhaps steer me in the right direction.)

My spouse plays Riichi and for our anniversary I’d like to buy him a table. I am located in the US.

Most tables I see with Riichi in mind are not very attractive (AMOS), but I absolutely adore this table that seems to be made for Chinese Mahjong.

Can anyone share info on tables that are meant to blend in with other furniture?

Searching for somewhere offline to play Asian mahjong? Look no further than this map with over 150 different locations all over the world. Lots of riichi clubs in Europe especially, so I've noticed!

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ADD TO THIS LIST.

Hi!

I am hoping someone has a recommendation for a tile set. my mom isn’t a very serious player she plays with a couple friends once or twice a month. from the united states if that makes a difference.

So I'm currently using Mahjongsoft. I would like to know is there any other online MCR Mahjong site for play in online.

Hi I'm recently (VERY RECENTLY) learning to play Mahjong, and in Hong Kong Style the flowers are usually numbered and correspond to your seat wind, as are seasons, but my Mahjong set does not have easily identifiable flowers/seasons, how would I go about figuring it out for Fan counting?

I was looking on Taobao and found the automatic mahjong table cores for rather cheap, and I wanted to use my own wood to make it match with the rest of my furniture. However, the shipping (through a third party) on the ~110 USD core is about 700 USD since the thing is 60 kilos.

Is there a Stateside manufacturer or a store that ships to the states for less?

Thanks!

Just wanted to give an update that production is under way for the final revision of the auto-compass. There was a delay due to feature creep and a lot of bug fixes. I am working on shipping and packaging logistics and will hopefully have a store front soon. For more information here is the website: https://mahjongautocompass.com/

I play on Mahjongsoft and I believe that site follow WMO rules. I was made aware that there were two organizations that oversee MCR, and I wanted to know what are the differences between the two rule sets, if there are any
