3-handed Mahjong
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:36 am
I played 3-handed riichi mahjong with some of my friends today according to the rules on hirohurl\'s website. After reviewing the ones there, the ones on Tom Sloper\'s website, and the ones at tenhou.net, I have a few questions that I wanted to ask.
Why do almost all versions never allow chows?
Why are only two suits used in most variations as opposed to to having all three suits but allowing less draws before the game ends?
The scoring seems to be different for tsumo and ron (on tenhou and hirohurl\'s website); tsumo receives only 3/4 the points that a ron does. Can that be corrected or is there a reason for it?
Thanks!
