in a nutshell, its like the card game gin rummy. you win by assembling five "sets" (such as three of the same tile, three consecutive tiles of the same 'suit,' etc - there's lots of possibilities). that's the gist of it really. I've never played a mah jong video game, but in real life I've already had to learn multiple ways of playing - the most significant being different rules between chinese and filipino games.

Thanks! that helps a bit.

What is the use of drawing groups of three pieces in middle of the game, and what do I need to make that?

Different places have different ways of playing mahjong. Most places require you to get a set of 3+3+3+3+2 combination to game a round, but there are places where odd rules are being played. The objective is to get and game a great combination that consists of the maximum "tai" (point) you can get.

Red dragon, Green Fatt, White Blank - Get 3 of these and your combination will have 1 "tai" (point)

North, South, East, West - Get 3 of the "direction wind " currently running, or your own "direction wind", and your
combination has 1 "tai".

That's the very basic concept of Mahjong.

"Dice" , posted Mon 28 Apr 12:44post reply


In some mahjong games, two dices are thrown at the begginning of each game, what is that number used for?

And thanks for the help, I'm getting Taisen Net Gimmick - Capcom & Psikyo All Stars for sure.

do a google search for how to play. the toughest thing is realizing when you have a 'legal' hand - this has to do with various combinations of tiles, and is rather complex at first. You really need a rules book/list, plus you must understand kan, ron pon, richi, etc. Definitely research first, or else you won't have as much fun as you should.

OK, at the start of the game each player has to build a "wall" using the tiles, 2 rows of 18 or 19 tiles each.

The dice is used to determine whose wall to start taking the tiles. The first throw of 2 dice determine who, the second throw determine which tile of the wall to take. Each player starts to take 4 tiles at a time, clockwise direction, until everyone has 13 tiles. Some people use 1 throw of 3 dice, which is the same purpose as well.

Confused? Yeah, it should be. You need to get hands-on experience to really learn the game. No point getting a guide to start....it will be confusing as hell.
