While we're at it, remember that Shousangen (little three dragons) counts in addition to any yaku for triplets of dragons. Meaning that the hand is worth at least 4 han.

Here is a counterexample:

East round, South seat

I choose 4-bam. (No strategy involved, I just picked a tile from my own set.)

Sorry, I see Referee already picked that tile.

Try buying from http://www.1kawaya.com. I have never bought transparent tiles from them, but from their pictures, it seems that they are quite serious about the quality of their transparent tile set.

You must have miscounted or something: that\'s 100100 points altogether.

Here\'s what I think: I think that \"making it accessible\" is the way to go. It is already huge in Asia; there must be a market for it in the English-speaking world. So you\'re planning this for the Xbox, you say? I think that might be the problem: who would pay for it? I would at the very least pa...

Personally, I prefer somewhat more rounded edges in the tile design. As you can see from the picture, real tiles do not have sharp rectangular corners. One of the tile designs from your first picture looked much better. I strongly recommend you at least give the option of Arabic numerals on the \"ma...

I suggest you go ahead and buy your own tileset to look at, if you are that concerned about authentic appearance. but I\'m not sure you need to be quite so meticulous. If you just want a better idea of what a mahjong tile \"should\" look like, just download some mahjong anime (some have very detaile...

Tom: what about pinfu?

\"Happoubijin\" must be a play on words, because literally, \"happou\" means \"eight directions\", and it is an eight-sided wait.
