Easiest Mahjong tutorial (for beginners) 

Wow sounds super cozy

same here i saw a set in PH and picked one up, in my 40s now and I miss that sound, I think I'm at that age to learn this game

thanks for this vid, it's alot easier than I thought lol

Me too. I’ve been “playing” since I was 4 ☺️.

@@Quazimo thats not very nice

@@grugbob i seriously did exit off this vid. never finished, felt like her voice was scratching my ears off.

@@Quazimo please grow and change as a person

Thanks Adam! Glad that you found it easy to understand 😁

Kaiji reference?

@@ermalbalaj4758 i don't think so

@@ermalbalaj4758 Akagi is my guess lol made by the same guy

@@intercakefederation The Kaiji Manga has a Mahjong Arc

same bro!

omg- exactly! As a child I was fascinated by the looks, sounds and playing with my Moms set. I NOW finally have my own set,, I had the 'cards' made and laminated and now just need to convince some friends to play

The way I learned it is that the tile-shuffle is called 'chattering the sparrows'. It's a magical and nostalgic sound for sure.

😊😊

@@AlpacaAlix can I ask... you say we start with 13 tiles. But how do we get tk 14 tiles by the end ? 4 sets of 3 = 12 tiles. 1 pair = 2 tiles. Total 14 tiles.

​​@@munnak3695 I'm not sure this is right but I remember hearing that on your last turn you're not allowed to discard. Oh she says it at about 10:43! I don't know how to put the time stamp thing in cuz I'm old 😊

@@munnak3695 you draw a tile at the beginning of the round or you take one from others before your round

How did your game go? Did you continue playing?

Profile pic checks out

Same

I just loaded this video up because of that substory

At this rate that guy is gonna be in debt forever. I've lost every game lmao

yeah i just got pulled into that like 5 minutes ago

Haha thank you for noticing 🥰 I thought I would try something different this time 😊

Same here! I've been seeing some ladies in my area planning games on the neighbors app...& I really want to join in but had no clue how to play..thank you for this easy to follow tutorial 😊👍

Yes yr soothing voice helps very much too.i agree

I have also come here from FFXIV... thats too funny! Also, I see you're a laughing man of culture.

Also from FFXIV haha!

Laughs in yakuzer

Yakuza series:

Same haha

Samee

That's why I'm here as well lol

If Pong gets preference over Chow, why would you not say "Pong" every time? Is "Chow" required if the previous person discarded the tile?

@@es330td Chow is taking the tile (discarded from the player on your left only) to form a series of 3 tiles. Pong is the taking of the same tile (discarded by any player) to form 3 of a kind. Chow is chow and pong is pong, which are 2 different actions.

@@dontan9637 So if I have 5,6 of dots and the player to my left discards the 7 of dots I say “Chow” but if I have two 4 of sticks and a third 4 is discarded I say “Pong” and now have 4,4,4?

Yes, both examples you given are correct. For that 7 dots (discarded by the player on your left), if another player say Pong, you cannot chow to make (5,6,7). Pong takes precedence. For the 4 sticks, you are right to Pong. But if another is calling for '4 sticks', you will have to give way. Coz Win take precedence over Pong. In summary: (lowest) Chow, Pong, Gong, Win (highest)

@@es330td A Pong is more valuable because it has less options. If you have two "Green Dragon"s, there are only two other stones in the game that will let you complete them: the other two "Green Dragon"s. If you have 4 of Bamboo and 5 of Bamboo, there are four 3 of Bamboo or four 6 of Bamboo, that will complete that combination as a Chow. Thus, a Pong is considered more valuable. Why would you not Pong? Well, if you Pong, you reduce your options. Suppose you have 3 of Bamboo, through to 5 of Bamboo, and another 5 of Bamboo through to 7 of Bamboo. If you now Pong a 5 of Bamboo, you are left with 3 of Bamboo and 4 of Bamboo and 6 of Bamboo and 7 of Bamboo. Good luck in getting something decent out of that. (Not the best example, but I hope you get they idea.) Is a "Chow" required? If you want to take the tile the previous player discarded, you have to say "Chow". You are not required to make the Chow, however. If nobody Pongs or Kangs, you can just take the next blind stone from the wall.

Like, a year late but here because of the games 💀

@@adorbsdrama2752same lmao

Aye same Yakuza 4 rn

Thanks, I'm so glad you found this video helpful! 😊

Akagi is really good but confusing when you don’t know how to play lol

Holy cow they are so small I can't even see them with my reading glasses on lol 🤓

How did you do that? It's definitely important to know the winds and which wind you are.

Just, that depending on the set, the "White Dragon" may be completely white, or may be a blue frame around an otherwise empty stone. That's why some USAnians call them "Blue Dragon". But Alix is right: All you NEED to know is that they can only combine with equals.

Yakuza uses Japanese riichi rules, which is more complicated than what is presented here. Knowing the wind honor tiles matters since depending on what seat you're in and what round it is will determine if you can use them for certain hands, there's a whole hand value system where you need yaku to qualify a winning hand, a points system, etc. You'll want to look up riichi mahjong tutorial videos.

Yes, play picks up with the player to your right.

I´m learning so I can play it on Yakuza

Same thing brought me here. =) More MGP!

Considering that Mahjong is Chinese, there might be a reason you got confused.

My question as well! I think chow is to the left only? But...Is pong for everyone else at any time, or just to the person on the right( the person who goes after you)

Thats something i didnt understand also, like why is there that distinction if the rules seem to only be different if the player is on the left of you? Like does chow take precedent over pong if both are called or something? If theres no actual difference then why have two different calls?

Chow (chii) is specifically for sequence calls from your left like 123 and pong (pon) is only for calling the 3rd tile for a triplet and can be called from any seats discard that turn

@@oxiepidge With the pong call being made for any discard in theory this could conflict with another players chow call? if so who gets the tile?

The Chow is a row of three tiles, each of the same suit, with each a number one higher than the previous. Those could be 3 of Rings, 4 of Rings and 5 of Rings.You can only make a Chow on the table if the player before you discarded it, or making the Chow will Win you the game. The Pong is a series if three tiles, all three with the same image. Those could be 7 of Wan, 7 of Wan, and 7 of Wan. You can make a Pong regardless of what other player discarded the tile. As a Pong is more difficult to make, it has right of way over a Chow. Yet, a Win is even more difficult, so a Chow Winning the game will take priority. A Pong winning the game will take prioriy over that, but a Closing Pair will have priority over that again.
