That's a nice initiative! But I'm afread the silver stick would look too close to the platinum one. We have a platinum one?! Hmmm... okay, I can have a platinum one designed though it tends to just look like dirty silver :) We've never been able to get platinum right over on RPG Geek. Partly becaus...

I really like the poster level badges we have (Fresh Reacher, Junior, Senior, Expert and Gold Boarder). However, without offending the original designers, the graphic designs of those badges are somewhat rough and leave a bit to be desired (I'm no graphics expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Exp...

Ah, yes. Do you know who created Jung Zung? Hint: His initials are Alan Kwan. Yes, of course. I'm stupid, not ignorant :D I spent the morning reading everything I could back on rec.games.mahjong as well as mentions of the game on the RM Forums, Jenn's blog, other sites, etc. It had been many years ...

I posted a short session report over on BGG regarding my teaching Riichi Mahjong. I plan to try and post reports there more frequently and see if some folks who frequent the site might give it a try. But it seems I've ruffled at least one set of feathers! http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/949117/riich...

They won't work on the printed 4x6 index cards either

Good to know on the PS3!

Thanks, Bart. I've made some improvements per your suggestions. I left off PS3 since I wasn't sure it was easy to run an import title on a US PS3.

Funny how y'note Amazon, when this site sells mahjong stuff too. :wink: :P :mrgreen: I know, I know. I'll be honest - most of the people I'll teach have Amazon Prime and in the shipping is free anywhere in the USA. The prices are good and the sets tend to get delivered in 1-2 days with tracking num...

I'm trying to put together a resource card (roughly the size of a 4x6 inch index card) that I can hand out after teaching new players the game. Here is a rough inital draft (yes, I've stolen the Reach Mahjong banner - I need to figure out who to ask to make sure it's okay - gemma? Jenn?). https://dl...

Rumors of a Mahjong: Nordic Edition are complete hearsay

Thanks for the coverage on this, Bart. Glad to see some of these games making out for westerners to try (at a reasonable price). The original Japanese PS1 edition is easy to come by - I may have to pick it up.

Okay, I'm just back from a long weekend of gaming at a Bed & Breakfast in central PA. This is traditionally a long weekend of boardgaming but I've managed to sneak in some Riichi Mahjong (about 12 hours of it!). My wife and I taught 7 new players the game - all of whom enjoyed it and many of whom ar...

Welcome aboard Yulyung!

More of a quick report than a request for a Meetup since it just happened this past Saturday (26-Jan-2013) I spent the day at Unity Games XIX (19) (this was the biggest turnout yet with 710 gamers). It's primarily a boardgaming event. I was fortunate enough to get in 2+ hours of live Riichi Mahjong ...

Awesome seeing the newbies continue to introduce themselves. Maybe we have enough critical mass to try and make a go of an unofficial Reach Mahjong Forums Tenhou game-day (if it were timed correctly... say a given Saturday at Noontime EST which is 9AM west coast and early evening for the Euro folks)...

Many of you here know that I run the Portland Mahjong Society . It started off with me, just looking for three other people that wanted to play. Now, in our fifth year, with over 275+ members... we've had hundreds of matches, social events, and we regularly teach the game at a local Chinese garden....
