Far as I can tell you just fling handfuls of tiles at each other and the person who shouts RON the loudest wins. Right?

fuck you, i was just about to go to sleep

Spoilers: Akagi was gay hence the lack of women in the anime

Spoilers: He's gay because he plays Mahjong, instead of Go or Shogi.

Fukumoto can't draw women for shit. Did you see that 'woman' during the balance beam arc of Kaiji? Christ.

Cmon anons, just one more will do for 3 player...

pretty please?

If you fail hard at it, why bother trying?

You should see some of his really early manga. Was fucking terrible.

I watched a raw of Akagi once, do I know enough to join?

>>65001
Of course!

No.

It's more like whoever shouts RON first. It's a very honour-based game, you only declare you've won when you think you deserve it.

nigger here,

yaal just got owned.

Bleh, I just dealt into your hand once. The other 4 times was because of that other Anon.

>>65181
He (>>65157) did. During all of the rounds. I didn't get to shout RON really fucking loudly and wake my roommates...

Never enough fucking people in 7447

Your on Anon.

Is there anyone that can prove to me that this isn't a game mostly based on luck? I've been having shit luck lately since I always deal someone's winning tile but they never deal mine, even though I have a high chance to win. Plus, everytime I have a dora 4 or higher, I just can't seem to make a ron or tsumo.

Yeah there's a big facor based on luck in Mahjong, but that's like dismissing poker as luck based as well. And having Doras doesn't count for the 1-Han minimum in order to have a winning hand.

You counter the luck-based elements of Mahjong with strategy, the foremost part being your hand's development. It's always possible to develop a decent hand throughout the course of a game that does not conflict with other players' hands. Eventually, a winning strategy boils down to "a matter of time" waiting on probable discards/draws.

you're doing it wrong. when playing conservatively i will go days and days without playing into someone else's hand. not that you can avoid it altogether, but you need to be aware of how likely it is that you can complete your hand before your opponents do. if your hand is crap you should play safe discards. if you are two tiles from winning you should usually go for it. try to keep your hand closed unless you know what you're going for. learn what hands will allow you to go out, and be careful with your discards so that you don't end up in furiten.
