Please read 2-3 sites before playing and even then try the singleplayer games first.
Playing without knowing what you do is not only frustrating for yourself but also for your

opponents, a player that left because he couldn't ron for his no Yaku hand or because
someone ron'd his discard just kills the whole fun for everyone.

Also keep in mind that Mahjong is more a game of "not losing" than straightforward winning.
Furthermore you play with 3 other people and luck plays a big part in it, so dont expect to
win more than 1 out 4 games, especially not as a beginner.

If you read some of the linked sites and still have questions feel free to ask.

[ I didn't quality check the sites, so if someone thinks a link should be removed or another added just say it ]
