    WATCH IT PLAYED is hands down our favourite explanation video series on the internet. The host has such a great friendly way of explaining things in the most accessible and easy way possible, with excellent and clear video examples to support it. For example, I just bought this game and watched the set up part of the video alone, then watched the play hrough with my 10 year old which let us start playing in less than 15 minutes with confidence. Thank you, Rodney, for your amazing work.
    For anyone debating buying the game, we really enjoy the multiple unique twists on Majong (which we didn't own) and the excellent quality of the components. (The tiles are beautiful and perfectly weighted and the artwork for everything is gorgeous.) Setup isn't painful (goes much faster than we thought) and has a ton of variations which we feel will give this a long lifespan.

    A little late perhaps, but Horrible Guild, the publisher that worked together with CMON for this game, has also released official rules for a solo mode. They can be downloaded here:

    This game looks like a lot of fun. I imagine the box is pretty heavy with all those tiles in it.

      Pep was actually surprised at how light the box was! The bag of tiles itself is heavy, but the box overall feels about average.

      Thanks for the interest. There are loads of games we won't get to feature. Each tutorial video takes about a week to create, so that means we can only do about 45 tutorials a year (and over 1,000 games came out at just Essen last year :) ).

    Wonderful tutorial as always. Just a note at 8:47 - I think the rulebook states that the game still continues until the player to the right of the first player completes their next turn (and so would go again)?

    Hello Rodney, excellent job!
    Let me just tell you... I am italian, and the pronunciation of "Luca Ricci" is something like "Ritchie". It's not like "Ricky" ;-)

  • @michelemolfino5053

    Are the pieces the exact number of a set of Majong? I see the 3 suits plus
    the winds, the seasons and the dragons (so, all the suits of a normal Majong set) but can't figure out their number.

    • @johannesmuller6237
      @johannesmuller6237 6 років тому +2

      From what I can see based on the bord used, its 116 tiles, a bit less than the standard amount in a mah-jongg set

    For rarer tiles like the blue, black and purple ones, when consolidating we are to place two shrines instead of one. What if I only have one shrine in my stash? Do I then just place 1 shrine on the consolidated tiles?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  4 роки тому

      You'll find this explained here: ua-cam.com/video/8ITRAmkMo-0/v-deo.html - you can place "up to" 2 tiles, so if you have fewer, you just place 1.

      @kingplayer14 6 років тому

      I agree with Nathan T. The true game of Mahjong is an excellent game in its own right. It's disappointing that we here in the U.S. know the game of Mahjong as a computer solitaire game. I would love to see a how to play on the actual game! Keep up the good work!

    • @johannesmuller6237
      @johannesmuller6237 6 років тому

      That would be kinda complicated. Which version is Rodney supposed to cover, considering that I alone already know of quite a few versions of the game, depending on the country the game is being played in? American (which has yearly changes)? Japanese (Classical or Modern)? Chinese (Classical or Tournament)? All of these have some changes to the most basic rules and their own tilesets unique to their version of the game.

    • @kingplayer14
      @kingplayer14 6 років тому

      I agree with you. I think Hong Kong is the easier to learn and it’s a good base

    • @johannesmuller6237
      @johannesmuller6237 6 років тому +1

      If you mean the Chinese Classical Ruleset by Hong Kong, then yes. That is the most basic of the Rules. Everything else is basically a variation. Some more radical than others.

    When you discard a tile from the castle and take 1 VP action, what do I do with the discarded tile? Can I put in into my realm playerboard?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  3 роки тому

      Good question Annie! No, it's basically out of play.

    Do you know of a simple tool or way to flip tiles more easily on the player's board?
    Some people I played with find it cumbersome.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  3 роки тому +1

      I can't really think of one, but I haven't found that's been too much trouble, so I've never considered it. Let me know if you find anything!

  • @1981dardar
    @1981dardar 6 років тому

    The rules didn't exactly clarify if using the spirit is a extra action ? Coz I dun see the point of destroying a tile with the tiger card ability and ending my turning but creating more option for my opponents.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  6 років тому

      Using a Spirit Power is something you do as part of your turn - it doesn't replace your normal action.
