I have a very dim memory of that from the anime.

Probably this hand from the manga: https://livedoor.blogimg.jp/zohnam/imgs ... 2d0428.png

Very nice to get Junchan without calling AND stack it with both San Shoku and Iipeikou. Just missing Pinfu with the middle wait here.

Congrats on two nice Baiman wins, Steve. You were racking up the points. Chinitsu is the full flush hand and Honitsu is the "half flush" (with winds and/or dragons). Yes, the second number is for Riichi, represented by a 1000-pts scoring stick. It's probably the total number of Riichi sticks availab...

3152 = badly miscalculated 2 Han 50 Fu non-dealer Ron win

31 52 = max days in a month and whole weeks in a year

3152 = 16 x 197

(That was a big ol' number on 13 Jan. A grand gathering of spambots to celebrate the birthday of Julia Louis-Dreyfus?)

Pretty good for a Toi-Toi! The Yakuhai Dora still working well for you.

Hi and welcome. This map is useful - it gives clubs in countries around the world, including four in Spain. https://jellicodemahjong.wordpress.com/world-riichi-map/ The Spanish mahjong federation lists some others too. https://femj.es/clubes.php I found this 2024 post about a group in the València a...

The Dōjima family has one too in the new Like a Dragon: Yakuza video-game spin-off TV series. (2024)

The yakuza still have their mahjong table - in the second (and final) season of Tokyo Vice. (2024)
Tokyo Noir, the follow-up to Jake's 2010 Tokyo Vice book, was published earlier this year.

A Craks half-flush with double east and Dora honours seems to be your theme for this year. :) I do like Honitsu but it's so rarely this valuable. Counted Yakuman is quite uncommon, especially without red fives to add Han. Yet my first ever Yakuman in a video-game was Kazoe Yakuman. (with two quad se...

So sometimes it's about how you don't play the game!

Well done for maintaining a play group and having the sportsmanship to sit out and assist.

The motto is a worthy attitude, but don't let it blunt your killer instinct to push for a win.

Certainly a 3445 shape progressed by any of 2/3/5/6 is exactly the example Daina gives for the efficiency of that shape during hand development (Section 3.3). Here that'd support Pinfu, potentially adding Tanyao (if you don't draw on the wrong side of the 23 Bams) plus the red five in the 55 pair. D...

If you want the latest gossip, you go to the ladies' mahjong club - in new Netflix series The Brothers Sun (2024).
The club appears several times and Michelle Yeoh's character mentions mahjong another couple of times too.

One time I went Fruiten when I was going for Seven Pears.

I have to post a quick review/warning about a recent acquisition for my collection. Oh boy. 'How to Play Mah Jongg for Beginners' by "Andrew L. Grayson" is a slim volume from 2023 "printed in Great Britain by Amazon". avoidavoidavoid.JPG It's frankly bizarre. The 64 pages are (mostly) double-spaced ...

Congrats. This was an auspicious victory with the Year of the Dragon just three weeks away.
