A basic video on how to play Mah Jong/Mah Jongg Game For 2 Players. #mahjong #mahjongg #2player #ad #boardgame As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
For scoring, I recommend this: 2pts for a melded Pung (or triplet) of simples (numbered tiles 2-8); 4pts for a melded Pung of terminals or Honors (numbered tiles 1 or 9, or any of the winds or dragons); 8pts for a melded Kong of simples; and 16pts for a Kong of terminals or Honors. If a set is not melded (sets that are formed by drawing face-down tiles), it gets double (e.g. a melded Pung of green dragons is 4pts, but a concealed (still in your hand) Pung of Green dragons would be 8pts). Pairs don't score points unless they are a pair of honor tiles, in which case they get 2pts. The reason I recommend this is because if you end up playing Traditional Chinese, Traditional Japanese (22-Mahjong), or Riichi Mahjong, you'll know how to properly count up the base score of your sets.
Thanks for your video. In your example, when a pong is created and laid down, shouldn't you also discard one tile? Also, when making a Kong, should the player draw another tile before discarding a tile - in the same way as the normal 4 handed game?
Hey David, it is 7 months since you posted your 2 questions but I don't see a Reply. It's funny, after the video, I thought the Same thing as you. It's good that O.P. made a brief video but wish he would have actually gone through and considered these. He mentions Kongs but does not provide details! Hoping he sees my comment and will perhaps add more details.
I should've seen this video before reading the whole Part 3 of Kaiji it was literally THAT easy (I've played some online games so now I know how it works personally) and I read 90+ without knowing what was going on because I didn't take the time to look it up, guess I gotta read it again :(
I own over a dozen Super Famicom Mah Jong cartridges and from what I saw was that after a certain amount of tiles are discarded on the 2 player versions the round ends with no winnner as is done over. Bishoujo Janshi Suchie-Pai and Super Mahjong (IMAX) ends the round after 40 discards (20 per player). The Mahjong Touhaiden ended after 36 discards (18 per player). All of the cartridges play the Japanese Riichi style Mahjong but I wanted to check if there was an official number as I just bought a nicer Mahjong set and would probably be playing 2 players. Also, shouldn't there be walls built? (17 each side 2 high, or 18 if using flower and season tiles). My book has the non-riichi style rules but all of the games I have played have a dead wall of 14 tiles at the end for picking from if you get a Kong. I know the game stops at 14 tiles left in the wall for a 4 player game.
after you’ve played a set of 3 or 4, do you draw 3 or 4 new tiles on your next turn? if not, how would it be possible to ever win since you need at least 3 more combos PLUS a pair to close out?
Thanks my sister and i wanted to learn but its just the 2 of us. Thank you for getting the ball rolling for us. Quick 1. Is the person with the most points the winner and is it over multiple hands?
I bought a Mahjong set a while back and haven't used it yet. I play Japanese Riichi Mahjong on Clubhouse Games 51 Worldwide Classics on Nintendo Switch but the rules of that are too complicated to explain to my family. (And I don't even know all the rules either, the computer helps along.) Plus we're only a household of 3. So we do need a 2 player version of the game.
Chows make the game go by very fast, so it’s a trade-off. You may achieve mahjong quicker using chows, but you won’t score as many points. Players that take the extra time to create pongs and kongs are rewarded by many extra points.
@@filthymcnastyazz -- He's making an assumption based on the accent... But you can't always tell from that even if it is a very non-Asian accent... I knew a 3rd generation Korean-American in Texas (south of Houston) that had an extreme "good-ol-boy Texan" accent... It was funny when I first met him, kind of like one of those old Asian movies that had been re-dubbed in English... Usually though, the accent would be a safe bet though... :) On the other hand, if you look at the other videos in this channel, it does appear that this is a channel of just a single person who does his own videos instead of one of those people who just pirate the works of others and puts on his channel. In some of those videos, there are parts where he is on the screen. He does appear to be Anglo... From what I've gathered, the term "gui lo" (various spellings, but I'll use the OP's spelling here) is often considered racist -- equivalent to calling a Chinese person a "chink", a black a "nigger", an Indian a "curry-head", or someone from England, "French" :) ... OK, calling someone from Scotland "English" is probably pretty offensive also... :) The thing is, to truly insult someone, you need to do it in their native language -- the equivalent in another language, even if that person understands that language, is just not as effective...
