@kfreckman 136 and 144 are the configurations for the standard Chinese version; the difference being the choice to include or exclude the flower tiles (as they're not really necessary for gameplay, only extra points). Japanese versions have an extra set of 飛 tiles; European versions sometimes have animal tiles and Americans have added joker tiles. You'll also notice the size of the tiles vary greatly from region to region; make sure you get Chinese sized tiles... they're more comfortable.
Diane Huang: tell me about it. Many different versions of the game out there, and the videos stink for all of them. It is all Mahjong for people who already know Mahjong!
You can only learn Mahjong on the spot. Once you get into the 'rhythm', its much easier to play. To save time, its best to learn the tiles before hand.
Gotta notice that at 0:50 the wind symbols appear in a different order than the narrator names them. She says "north south east west", but the order they appear is "north east south west".
Isn’t your summary of this game no different than any other timeless table top game? Where is this “stylized stereotyped” thing even coming from, and why haven’t you taught me how to play mahjong?
The video is good providing you know how to play Interesting to see how fast they play The one shot of the tiles shows a bonus tile in the hand As far as I know if someone goes MAH Jong and the bonus tile is still in your hand it would make the Hand null and void because you would be playing with.a SHORT HAND and would never be able to go Mah Jong The video also does not explain the full basics of the game Fails to show what each set is made of of in order to make up a hand Pongs Kong’s Chi’s Pairs Also when and how the discarded tiles can be taken Different rules for the Three and Four in a set and taking Chi’s To a rank beginner this video would be very confusing Needs more details
what about the style of mahjong that you download as game to cell phones and such? it´s kinda like Mahjong solitaire... I guess even the pieces should be different, because these ones must stay upright to hide from the other players, while on Mahjong solitaire they with their faces up, so the pieces must be thinner?
I've seen sources that say sets have 136 tiles, 144 tiles, an other numbers - does anyone know if this is a variation based on the style (American Mahjong, Chinese, Japanese, etc?) [Just started getting interested in the game, so I don't know)
i really don't understand how this game works this video is to fast and the noise is to high, i can't understand it clearly -- , and the star of the game it seems a little bit confusing , which one go first or the others..
If you're thinking of the single-player tile-matching game, that is a modern invention first released for computers, using images of tiles that were originally made hundreds of years ago. Mahjong is the name of the real-life game that has been around for centuries, obviously predating the computer (well, duh!). The 4-player game resembles rummy. It is unfortunate that the tile-matching game shares the same name. The first version that was released was called Shanghai. In my opinion, all solitaire mahjong tile-matching games should use that name to differentiate it from the original shown here.
thanks to this video my wife and kids left me, i sold my house and cars too
+Idrankyourcoffeewhileyouwerereadingmyusername I hope this is not true? Your family is much more important that mahjong.
+Kelley its called a joke lol
Sorry. Did not understand you meant it that way.
+Idrankyourcoffeewhileyouwerereadingmyusername no punch line,what you mean is you were being sarcastic
i didnt come for a cultural lesson i came to learn mahjong
Thomas Mahjong IS all cultural. Maybe stick to Dominoes.

This is the 10th video I watched and I didn't learn anything! Why is Mahjong so hard!!!! D:

Videos do not lend the proper teaching. An experienced player must take you through the game a couple of times.
it's not hard, it's poor instruction
We are the same haha
grew up watching this. goodluck poo
WAY too fast and cursory to be of value to a beginner.
Cristian Zeak What?
Gotta notice that at 0:50 the wind symbols appear in a different order than the narrator names them. She says "north south east west", but the order they appear is "north east south west".
Crazy Rich Asians brought me here!
Me too....
Same here... I am watching Saki for ages but I don't get it at all...
me too
I remember playing this on the computer when I was really little.
can u help me by the link of the game i love this game too much
Simone The Digger esolitario
Now I understand it. Thank you for the video!
Mah-jong can be played without the flower tiles, think of them like an expansion pack
sleeping dogs brought me here I wanna learn how to play poker so I can pass that damn level.....
"Mahjong Tricks" is now on Google Play!
Isn’t your summary of this game no different than any other timeless table top game? Where is this “stylized stereotyped” thing even coming from, and why haven’t you taught me how to play mahjong?
ye, Im here just because of yakuza 6 lol!
LiangHuBBB same.
Yep
How many Yakuza games are total?
i was watching akagi the anime seem epic but i didnt understand the game lol so that's why im here
The video is good providing you know how to play
Interesting to see how fast they play
The one shot of the tiles shows a bonus tile in the hand
As far as I know if someone goes MAH Jong and the bonus tile is still in your hand it would make the Hand null and void because you would be playing with.a SHORT HAND and would never be able to go Mah Jong
The video also does not explain the full basics of the game
Fails to show what each set is made of of in order to make up a hand
Pongs
Kong’s
Chi’s
Pairs
Also when and how the discarded tiles can be taken
Different rules for the Three and Four in a set and taking Chi’s
To a rank beginner this video would be very confusing
Needs more details
Nice
It's difficult for non Chinese speakers.Wish its all in symbols.
Omg this voice, my ears are bleeding
Thanks! Very helpful

That's not really mahjong. Just a matching game that uses mahjong-looking tiles to piggyback on the original "publicity".
Directions unclear, foot stuck in toaster
is this the same mahjong used in that famous anime series called 'saki'?
this isnt excactly it cause this video explains Chinese mahjong and Saki does not play the way they play Chinese mahjong.
Are you recording on a potato?? DX
Diane Huang I need to learn from the beginning I know nothing about mahjong
Mahjong games and tournaments, every day at: www.gamecolony.com/mahjong/game.html
I've seen sources that say sets have 136 tiles, 144 tiles, an other numbers - does anyone know if this is a variation based on the style (American Mahjong, Chinese, Japanese, etc?) [Just started getting interested in the game, so I don't know)
