      well, I think if he went into yaku, closed/open hands, and the prevailing/personal wind the video would be more comprehensive, but also 3 hours long

    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! 🙏🏾
