hm.. Building a mahjong game isn\'t as necessary as you might think. There are already a ton of different services out there, only problem is that there aren\'t that many players on them. Even if you do manage to build a game there still wouldn\'t be enough people there to make it successful, the ma...

You can get one from china cheap within a month, you can choose the size of the tiles. I believe you also can change how many tiles you want in play though the table setup (136, 144..). I\'m sure you can even get red fives extra if you ask for it.

The basic (but a bit poorly explained) scoring works like this: You take the amount of yaku (han) and add two, then you double that by the amount of minipoints (up to max a mangan).

Furiten acts the same way in riichi, if you dont ron on a tile that makes your hand complete your temp. furiten. Same ...

If someone throw one of your winning tiles and you let it pass, you will be furiten until the turn end. The turn end as soon as you draw, or when anyone make a call (chii, pon, kan, concealed kan). False. It takes a self-pick to cancel the temporary furiten. A L ---pon---> R _ ---pon---> _ you Neit...

I think you\'re settling for too low of a hand by discarding 4-crak . This is the first hand of the East round, and guessing you don\'t know your opponent too well I\'d say :north is safer, and better. You have just to much opportunity here for a great hand while keeping it safe. If you get any crak...
