Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

Weird to have the flush but no seven pairs. Maybe because the Yaku name specifies the number of tiles?

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

A sad thought... with Adobe Flash discontinued from the end of 2020, the Riichi browser game at gamedesign.jp is no longer playable. The free solo play with English version served the community well.
