This is your complete guide to the basic variant of Hong Kong style mahjong. There is a lot to learn, but I've tried to make it as concise as possible, including an introduction to the tiles, how you can build your hand, and how to start and play the game.

Such a great video! If you have a mixed one suit hand that has honor tiles worth +3 and your honor tiles happen to be a pung of dragons, do you add an additional +1?
How much?!?!? $$$$$$!!!!!
So what's a yaku?
what is the difference between traditional mah jong and the hk styte mahjong?
Very very well explained!
Brilliant thank you 🙏
i love these puzzles. I definitely didn’t find every winning hand but it makes me excited to be able to learn and get better
I love these videos, definitely helps me assess my mahjong thinking skills
This set is awesome, super cool to see big brands making mahjong sets
Such a great explanation, thank you. Btw what mahjong set are you using in the video? I love it!
I just learned to play Mahjong from a friend today and it was so fun! We struggled with the setup mechanics so this was super helpful! Btw, I've heard some sets (or at least my friend's 😅) may not come with flower tiles. Is that unusual? Does that change the setup mechanic or any other aspect of the game? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏾
Finally can play the yakuza mini game.
Just in time when I need it Thank you for making these, they are FANTASTIC value and great production! Bless you!
Just want you to know, some of the pieces are too big to fit on screen
can you make a video explaining how to play Pai Gow tiles?
Fantastic resource! Thank you for explaining this so well!
Best tutorial for me. Thanks
Great video! One suggestion would be to use an American mahjong set where the numbers for the cracks and names of the winds are shown.
Doesn't have to be an american set -- you can find labelled chinese sets if you look around. My first set was a chinese set and was labelled.
What is defrent between double and poin?
Wow, your teaching is perfectly clear. 正要教一大群退休美國人打麻雀，正不知從何說起。而家我就將這forward俾佢哋就搞掂！ 真係多謝晒！
I think you can only rob a Gong if the player is completing a Pung, not when a player declares a closed Gong.
this is such a great video im gonna show it to my mahjong club
Very, very good video. I’ve been playing Hong Kong style for many years. I will recommend this to my friends who want to learn to play.
Clear instructions. Now i know hong Kong and riichi mahjong. Im really interested in variation of mahjong
This is literally everything I ever wanted in an HK style mahjong scoring primer.
Appreciate your kind words!
this was really helpful!! thank you so much!! i’m from a part of europe where this game is basically unknown, can’t wait to teach my friends!!
Oh cool, where are you from? Glad we can share this great game with more people!
@@MahjongSparrow I’m from Romania. Just ordered a set of mahjong tiles. Can’t wait to play!
i have a question, so when you have a flower, you will take one more tiles, but to the end of the wall, right? of the gong too right?
Yes exactly, you draw a tile from the end of the walls only when you draw a flower or when you Gong.
Well, not in japan mahjong 🀄
Very useful video, simply explained!
nice video
hello from italy, very nice video thank you so much, and thanks for the links for play online
Grazie mille!
I’ve watched many MJ beginner basic tutorial videos and you one is the most well explained! Now I need to look for one that explains dealers and winds.
Thanks! You can have a look at my advanced video for an explanation of the Winds if you'd like!
@kith #kith 😂😂 hope this catches their attention
This video is excellent! So clear and easy to follow, thank you! I had a question - if no one has a winning hand by the time you reach the dead wall, is the round over? Or can you draw the tiles from the dead wall?
So this depends on house rules. We usually play until the very last wall tile and discard, and if no one wins by then, it is a draw game and the dealership moves on.
Gambling is the best way to get the true mahjong experience
Having my first mahjong game this week…. Can’t wait to fail and have fun
Having fun is the most important part!
FINALLY a (relatively) clear explanation of HK Mahjong scoring. Was trying to follow the "official" MJ Competition Rules published online but it was hard to understand. Great work!
MCR is more designed for advanced players.
Thank for clear video explanation of the points sytem for the resppective winning combinations. However I am a bit puzzled with the below basic winning combination points The first video link awards 1 point and the second awards 0 for the same winning tiles. ua-cam.com/video/qVQyV7OMWdA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/qVQyV7OMWdA/v-deo.html Please can you clarify the point differences in the two video clips links. Both video clip show the same set of winning tiles which are all consective triplets without any honor tiles
So it's important to understand that all the points referenced are added points, and not absolute values, hence why there is always a + sign before each point reference. The Common hand in question from your 2 links is a combination of +1 for structure, and +0 for suit, therefore the total for such a hand in this instance would be 1 point. Remember, points are always cumulative. Hope this helps.
Awesome! Best comprehensive how to play and score HK mahjong videos. Rekindled childhood memories. I have shared them with families. Questions: Self draw - everyone pays the winner, while a player who discarded the winning tile only pays the winner correct? What is the scoring rule when a player (player A) discarded a tile that helps another player (player B) to make either 9 tiles or 12 tiles showing then later self draw for the win? Does player A pay for everyone? Thank you
Thanks! And to your question - Yes, especially for 12 shown tiles, if you would like to play with penalties.
I’ve been waiting for this video. I have a group of 12 friends who followed your first video. Sooooo explicit! Best video so far. Now they are ready for an advanced video. Thank you!
Thanks to you and your friends for watching, happy playing!
Awesome video. Does Hong Kong scoring use any knitted or knitted + honors hands? Those took me by surprise when playing mainland competition scoring.
You explained too fast , but thank you for teaching us the points.😇
Thanks for watching! There is a lot of info, and I didn't want to make the video tooooooo long, but hopefully a few replays and pauses will help make it more digestible
I remember all the old Filipina women playing Mahjong in the garage over 35 years ago when I was like 7. They played at almost every family gathering.
I got lost at the wind directions. Why don't they correspond to a typical compass?
Hi, the Winds can be confusing, best not to think of them relating to a traditional Western compass. Your Seat Wind is always relative to the dealer. The dealer is always East; if you follow the dealer, you are always South; if you are across from the dealer, you are always West; and if you're left of the dealer, you are always North. Hope this helps!
The way I heard it explained is that in Chinese culture the order of directions from first to last is East, South, West, North (compared to the order North, South, East, West that is used in Western culture.) Then you’re just applying each direction counterclockwise from the dealer around the table. It won’t match up with true compass directions so don’t worry too much about it.
@@MahjongSparrow This does help. This is also incredibly interesting on a worldview level. I have encountered different conceptions of time and different understandings of how to find your way and the meaning of them - but this was making my head split. Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
@@djYuz I replied to Mahjong Sparrow, but I also have you to thank. Now to find three people to play in my neck of the woods.
I don't know if it's true but it can kinda make sense. I think I read in a book somewhere where it may have been considered a "heavenly" game. So the explanation I got was that if you were laying on your back looking up at the sky the directions make sense.
this is so cool, I love MJ so much, id love to get this set!
This is sick but who like Mahjong this much
You'd be surprised mate!
me, but I play riichi. It'd be nice if places sold both options; only difference is the red fives instead of flowers
I heard seven pairs come from USA. I heard some place in Japan it was called « America » when they adopted this hands. Also many regional rules among china (especially where people start to play mahjong very early) doesn’t recognize this hand. Also It doesn’t look like any other 4*3+2 structures. About nine gates, shall we mention that many people are kind of scared of this hand because it will burn down all your luck or some years of your life 😅.

the transitions are so clean bruh 😩
i like ur way of explaining this game!
