Two in one day again! Warrior (2019) is a TV series about a Chinese martial artist who arrives in San Francisco in 1878. Mahjong tiles appear briefly in the opening titles. Warrior3.jpg Also one of the first scenes features a game of street mahjong. Warrior2.jpg The original image used in the credit...

For Halloween... an abandoned mahjong club in creepy dim-lit camcorder horror video-game Dread Flats. (2025)

American mahjong at a nursing home in episode 5 of Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne. (2023)
Judith Light (right) won an Emmy for her one-off guest role in this episode.
"And I hate this witchy Chinese game you're playing. What are these, runes?"

(Sorry to interrupt the unfettered spam this month but old habits die hard.) In the game Viewfinder (2023) there are seven collectible mahjong tiles in chapter 3 which are displayed on a table once found. viewfinder1.jpg There are also some references in notes and documents you find. :) viewfinder2....

In the video-game We Love Katamari (2005, remastered 2023) you roll a ball to pick up objects and make the ball bigger. There are hundreds of different objects, but some of the first are mahjong tiles. WLK1.jpg The collection menu gives descriptions for each type of item you've rolled. WLK2.jpg WLK3...

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.
