Good thing the TN explained partially how the game works I had no clue never played it.
I am firmly convinced that Mahjong is actually an elaborate prank that Asia is playing on the West, and every time someone here thinks they've got a handle on it, they pile on additional rules to make the game more complicated. :nyoron:

Ok...well its one way to win I guess you can always argue to the other player that they got it wrong or did not follow rule 738 of the mahjong rulebook.

to put veeeeeeeery simply, it's a complicated poker, you have more or less the same kind of move and way of winning, majhong is the ancestor of card game.

When I tried to get into mahjong I basically learned that it was just Rummy but if it was a TCG. Multiple win conditions, a lot of rules, and different versions of the same game depending on where you are and who you're playing with. And a lot of eastern vernacular and culture. If you play it like Rummy and only go for the basic hand then it's not too hard to understand.

A few years ago I thought I was learning mahjong and then found out that it was American Mahjong where the rules are a bit more Rummy-like than the Chinese/Japanese style of mahjong in the Yakuza/RGG games. At least I knew a few of the hands from playing the latter but it didn't help me win.
