Mahjong

Anyone here know how to play Mahjong? And I don't mean solitaire (the tile stacking game).

I'm talking about 4 winds
Hong kong
or Riichi

I used to play it all the time. But.... it's been like 4 years, so I've completely forgotten.

You can totally re-learn it. AND YOU WILL

the only stuff I have learned about Mahjong I got from a james bond book, and it looks awesome. I'd be down with learning how to play too

I've only played the version on my computer (not the windows version) that my grandmother gave me. I would love to learn how to actually play though.

Yeah, a lot of people get confused because there are two different forms of mahjong

The first is the Solitair Mahjong, where you get a pyramid of tiles and have to match them

the second is the REAL way of playing. It is kind of like Gin Rummy, Poker, Dominoes, and A-Hole all mixed together, very strategic and psychological.

I will be running the latter.

How did everyone enjoy 'jong?

[Budfannan]

Sorry I missed it.  I really wanted to learn.  I didn't even see anyone playing it. It must have happened when I was running a game.  Hope you will run again next year.

Yeah, I should have planned with the Boardgame chair to have a permanant table. I also should get a dealer in so we can have a game going the entire con.

Alex, you're a bastard.  I'm totally addicted to this right now. http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html

I'm almost winning as much as I lose now.
