This was a great explanation of the set up of the game!!! I understand everything until the dead wall I kond of lost it there...but thanks!!!

Minimum hand fu = 20 Calling Wins: Ron (Closed) = +10 Tsumo = +2 Single Tile Wait Win = +2 2-sided Wait Win (pair doesn't count as a side) = +0 Double Pon Wait Win = +0 Triplets: Simple (Open) = +2 Simple (Closed) = +4 Terminal/Honors (Open) = +4 Terminal/Honors (Closed) = +8 Kans: Simple (Open): +8 Simple (Closed): +16 Terminal/Honors (Open): +16 Terminal/Honors (Closed): +32 Pairs: Dragons = +2 Round Winds = +2 Seat Winds = +2 No Points (Open) AKA Pinfu: 30 points

took em to the middle of the vid to realise he was saying 'fringe ' and not 'french'

why don't you play all four winds in riichi mahjong? would that take too long, or is it more of a tournament thing?

Thanks for the teach. Always wanted to learn this. I must say that this game seems to have influenced the design of another 2p game ive played and really enjoyed called Schotten Totten. You might really enjoy it as well if your into Riichi. Schotten Totten is not the same game but has some similarities.

It seems like you keep every tile you pick up and discard another. Do you always have to keep the tile you pick up or can you pick one up and discard it immediately?

Ive watched all the videos and i still cant understand how to play it lol

That one substory in Yakuza Kiwami 2

I bought a physical kit today, but there are 140 tiles in total (with 4 dora tiles, no flowers), so setting up the 4 walls results in 4 leftover tiles.

who gets the honba after calculation, i mean physically, the sticks

we have a discussion about "should riichi player show his correct tempai in case of abortive draw". What do you think? Some players insist that they should only in case of 4 riichi draw, I think that it will be more correct in case of any type of abortive draw... Proofs from japaneese source will be useful.

Is it honitsu if I have all one suit tiles and just a pair of honor tiles or do I need a triplet of honors as well and if only a pair of honor can work can I use the non-yakuhai tiles to make the pair?

Just started mahjong because of Yakuza games and loving it...I finally understood pinfu thanks to this video!!!

Yay thank you

I swear I’ve been put in furiten when I didn’t discard anything I need to win on. (I play Doman Mahjong on FFXIV) I find myself in Furiten a lot! I always see a winning hand and I’m like yessss! But then it’s forcing me to discard something and I realize I’m in furiten somehow

I just want to say how I appreciate that you respond to comments even though the video is years old. This is the most helpful channel I’ve found so far when it comes to learning.

Ryu Ga Gotoku got me to take the time to learn this. Thank you for your videos!

how tf Kaiji manage all of that

Scenario: Player C in Tenpai, waiting for one or four bamboo (only Yaku is Tanyao). Player A discards one bamboo putting player C in temporary Furiten. Player B now discards four bamboo, on which player C may not Ron. Can player C now draw, discard and also declare Riichi? If answer is yes, may player now Ron a one or four bamboo from other players?

Hello I am now watching these. Thank you.

tThank u for the video! I t helped a lot

One question I have is this temporary furiten rule you mentioned. If you discard that 8-Sou at around 2 minutes, but you are at let's say 10000 points left, but the other players each are at 20000 points I am at 30000, this means I am not allowed to wait on your 8-Sou in order to hit a wealthier player for the Ron-Cost in order to build up my lead? Whether or not that's strategically viable if there's a Riichi hand going around is questionable in the first place, but I did have one single instance recently where I considered doing it and didn't because I was unsure if I'm allowed to.

One question, can you rob a concealed kan for 9 gates?

Another good one

This video series is just what the doctor ordered for the complete beginner. Thanks.

Good summary.

This tutorial is great. Video games should hire you to design their Mah-Jong tutorials.

How to setup the wall with use red dora tiles? Remove 1 normal 5 from each sutes? when set 34 tiles per wall it left 4 tile...

Link to mahjong set?

link to set?

Does san kantsu count as toitoi if you have another triplet? Or i should say, do kans also satisfy triplet yaku?

In practice, how do people enforce furiten? Do they examine your hand and discard and waits?

Thanks Grunty. I'm returning to Riichi Mahjong (thanks to the Yakuza games) and your tutorial is very well done.

One thing I learned today is that you can't riichi on the last turn of the game. Meaning you must atleast have a chance at ippatsu, menzen tsumo in order to riichi. Question about distrupting your chance for ippatsu with chi, pon, kan. Does that rule exist in order to give the other players power to choose to remove your chance at ippatsu or is there another reason behind it?

Love your tutorials, but it does concern me how intolerant seasoned mahjong players are.

This is very helpful, except that the dead wall is the 14 tiles after the wall break, before the dealt tiles. This is in case the dice roll for breaking the wall ends up being less than 7. From the right, the first 5 tiles are dora indicators. The first one is flipped by default, the other 4 are flipped individually whenever kan is called. If a hand is won after declaring riichi, the top layer of the dead wall is moved and any tile under a flipped dora indicator (hidden dora) is also flipped, allowing for up to 4 extra dora for that hand. The last two stacks of tiles are used to draw/replace a tile whenever kan is called to keep tile count even. Most riichi rules only allow 4 kan calls for that reason. The ones that don't end the round when a 5th kan is called

This guide casually saving the yakuza completionist community

fact I'm interested in: 13 orphans doesn't match the Japanese name "国士無双 / Kokushi Musou". The translation means "distinguished person"

So, basically don't ever play IRL if you're a beginner, if you're supposed to know everything in advance...

Cool, that was a pretty informative rundown. I think I can go back to watching Akagi now and actually follow what's happening lol

I was Oya and became distracted in the opening draw and took 16 cards instead of 14. Other players did not draw but called a chombo on me. Was this instead a dead hand for me, and remaining players then each draw one card to complete their 13 cards for a starting hand and game continues with me playing a dead hand?

Came across this video trying to figure out if Dora is turned over with rinshan Kaihou and if it depends on if the KAN is open or closed. I saw you turn the dora indicator over before drawing from the dead wall with a closed KAN and thought this answered my question, but then you also turned it over first with an open KAN. This was not what I expected. Do you turn the dora indicator over before discard for all KANs whether closed or open? Sorry to post on an old video, but the answer to this eludes me.

Mahjong lore

Hey man, where did you buy that mahjong table and what mahjong set are you using, yellow mountain ?

Have you tried playing on Mahjong Soul?

Very helpful video. I made it into adept on Mahjong Soul by total luck apparently, because I've been on a rough patch of dealing in for about a week now.

As the player going after a person just discarded, how long do you give before drawing and discarding? Do you wait 5 seconds to see if anyone calls or do you just keep going?

Your hand is closed and you Ron and get 10 points. Is this this 10 points in addition to fu in your concealed hand (i.e. pung or kong of dragons, your wind or table wind), thus making total fu more than 30 points?

Thanks for the guide man. Im gonna watch them all. Idk if you know but theres a videogame called Yakuza with Mahjong as a minigame. Im trying to complete it, but I need to master mahjong and shogi.

For a draw game or ryuukyoku, when does a karaten (empty tenpai) hand get to collect on noten penalty rule? Should players try to avoid karaten, and if so why?
