Managed to score a dealer tsuu iisou yesterday, but I forgot to screencap it - I was too surprised to see it happen, I guess. It's been more than half a year since my last yakuman, so this was definitely more than welcome.

I have one of these sets: http://image.rakuten.co.jp/offer1999/cabinet/9/img56565756.jpg There's a glass bead in one of the 3 pin, 3 sou and 3 man and haku tiles. I was wondering what's the purpose for these? I'd figure it's a local rule of some sort, but I wasn't able to find out any information ab...

A bit late announcement, but I managed to get a suitable set with an affordable price. Here's the set I got: http://en.item.rakuten.com/offer1999/10024024/ It exceeded my expectations! Tiles look and feel great. The tiles are heavy and there's no glass beads in the red 5 pins, which I appreciate. Th...

Rakuten is just what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

Sorry for not being specific enough. I already have experience on Mahjongmart sets - I used to have the "Dragon tile set" but it was so poor quality I had to get rid of it. Tiles were very small, it had a distinct smell similar to thinner which took around a week to air off.. And the paint jobs were...

Heya, I've been thinking about getting a new set for a while now. Unfortunately the options are pretty much limited to Take sets, which is both expensive and they have yellow tilebacks, which I'm not too fond of. As far as my very limited japanese.. No wait, google translate japanese goes, no vendor...

Heya, I was wondering if ryan peikou stacks with iipeikou (3+1 han), a bit like shou sangen gets 2 han + 2 for yakuhais? 3 han isn't that great reward for such a difficult yaku, but it would make a lot more sense if it atleast stacks with iipeikou (of course there's pinfu etc. which helps, but it's ...

Thanks WorTeX. Didn\'t know it was possible to win off someone\'s dora tile other than for kokushi musou :)

Hi there, we were playing with 3 players last week for a bit, and were uncertain if declaring doras interrupts the round (like other calls do). For example, when someone declares riichi and either of the next players declare dora during that go-around, does cancel out ippatsu? The same question appl...

I heard that this variation, called Minefield mahjong, was on Kaiji manga, but since I haven\'t read the manga myself, there might be some errors - if you can correct them I\'d be grateful. I\'ve played it a couple of times and it\'s pretty fun. All tile types are used, east wins 1.5x, each player h...

Your hand is a haneman, but haneman is worth 18k only for east, 12k for others.

My black set is very offended by your comment! ;) I\'m curious what you felt was wrong with the set. Not that it really matters to me as I was pleased with my set. Just remembered a certain manufacturing error on one of the 3 man tiles. The tile is somewhat scuffed from the backside, I didn\'t think...

Sure, once I get rid of this flu that\'s been bugging me for a while.. Of course I need some method to determine the weight first, hope you\'re not in a hurry :P

I have the black set. I don\'t feel that the one color tiles are a problem, since when you suspect that a tile is facing it\'s back against you, you can just feel the opposite side to see if it\'s a white dragon or not - this way there\'s no need to turn it around. Not that it\'s likely to happen at...
