Re: severely in need of an english translation!

Thanks for that. I think the フーロメンツ means it's an open meld. So it must be an open meld in both cases. I'm pretty sure the first one means the smallest tile number in the meld. So if it was a 234s, then it would be 2. If a 567p, then it would be 5. And so on. From your translation of the second, I w...

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

Question about ryuuiisou

I've been playing MahJong Nagomi HD on the iPad (what a time killer!) and I have a question about ryuu iisou (緑一色).

Re: Junchan

Hey guys thanks! If I hadn't read this thread recently, then I wouldn't have recognised how close I was to forming this lovely yaku this evening.
