I swear my grandmother taught me how to play this game when I was 7and I was a fucking legend at it but my grandmother took this game very seriously. Watching this video gave me flashbacks of disapproving glares from my grandmother whenever I messed up. I cried twice during this video.
This is hilarious...My mid 90 year old neighbor has a group at her house...at least twice a week to play...Today we have a blizzard here...they were still there!
Nannyk B lol. I worked at a beach club a couple of summers. And every Monday, rain or shine, it was mahjong tournaments. You could not stop these women from playing. You walk on the court and all you here is “3bam” “4 crack” and so on. I even recommended the club host an actual tournament but they were too incompetent.
It's the same for me with my parents and grandparents, but with bridge. I'm not a legend but I'd get good at it if they'd let me figure shit out for myself. Instead I get a 45 minute lecture and like 15 minutes of actual game time
Here are the rules and how the game works: -Each player starts with 13 tiles. -In order to win they need one pair and four melds(three of the same tile, four of the same tile, or a straight). -When its your turn you can pick up a tile from the drawing pile and add it to your hand or discarding it. however if you keep it you have to discard another tile because you have the max of only 13 tiles. -when you discard the tile a person can pick it up in order to create a meld, but they have to show it to everybody since they picked it up from the discard. If somebody is confused comment below
The video says 4x melds and a pair. So correct me if I'm wrong; 3x of the same 4x of the same 3x in same suite and sequence Total: 10x Then a pair of any Total: 12x That leaves me with only 1x more left as you can only have 13x at any one time. So how does the 4th need for into this?
Mark Tan you can either have a pong ( meld of three) or a kong ( meld of four) so if you already have a pong (x3) then draw a fourth, then you declare a kong which means you get an extra draw on your go, effectively drawing two tiles during one go. Hence your mahjong is 15 tiles which gives you extra points. Easy
This is the second video I have visited on how to play mahjong. Both start with 'Mahjong is easy to learn'. Now I need to find two more liars to play the game..
Paul Johnson It depends on what kind of mahjong you want to learn. I've tried many and now play Zung Jung exclusively. These are the rules used at The World Series of Mahjong too. Game related websites are blocked from my work computer, but should be able to find the rules easily enough online by Googeling "Alan Kwan Zung Jung" (Alan Kwan was the creator). Make sure you're getting the most current version of the rules, v3.3 (Mahjongtime.com still gives an outdated score and payment method from a previous version).
Ivan Wong American "Mah Jongg" was the first type I learned thanks to my mother-in-law. (I now prefer Alan Kwan's Zung Jung / World Series of Mahjong rules). This video does not show American "Mah Jongg". There is no such thing as "what I call" American Mah Jongg. American Mah Jongg is already defined by the NMJL (National Mah Jongg League). It inlcudes 8 Jokers and does not allow Chows, and there is no such thing as a standard winning hand (4 sets and a pair) in the game.
There are many different rules depend on which region of Asia playing the game. From HK, they used 3 pieces of dices to start off the game instead of 2. The discarded tiles don't line up by the players as they just scattered all in the middle of the table. Only the most recent tile discarded can be pick up by the next player and any players can pick up the previous tile if they have three or four of a kind to display. All the old tiles discarded cannot be pick up.
Yea I started playing Mahjong and it really is a beautiful and fun game one of the best. But since I can't remember the names of moves I just say random shit for the moves like "pokemon, Digimon, Mangan sharingan sumo wrestler that's 24,000 points"
+Pixy Wing lolllz that probably riled him up to NOT lose to you he was like there is no way in hell I'm going to lose to someone that said pointy hat guy. If he was washing security would be holding him back from trying to kill u. You should watch Gintama an anime dangerously hilarious just starts off slow and incredible action as well
I don't know Rummy, but I usually say it's similar to Poker. The tiles are just like cards, and you're trying to make a hand. You're trying to form sets of Trips (3 of a kind, which is called "pong"), Straight ("chow"), 4-of-a kind (called "kang"), pairs, etc...
I came here for yakuza 0. I failed and gave up. I returned for kiwami. I failed again. Then I came back for kiwami 2, and I failed yet again. I returned once more for 6, and guess what? I failed again. Yet I'm right back here once again for Judgement. Hopefully I'll actually learn how to play this time.
@@dracomight I learnt it for Judgment, after giving up with every previous game since Y4. I can tell you it's not so difficult as it appears, after you learn the basic mechanism. It's just bad explained in the game tutorial. I had to find some help in other online tutorial. Anyway, the golden rule for beginners is DON'T STEAL OTHERS' TILES or you can't call Riichi that's usually the first step to go out.
@@PalloneWafer I just feel like I hit a wall when I get to mahjong. No matter what I do I can't fulfill all the requirements. I can win some but there are specific hands that I can't get. I been able to learn how to play every other mini game properly but not this one.
Lol when I was little and was living in China, there was a casino kind of area underneath out compound, where we lived. It contained lots of stuff the a swimming pool, billiards, table tennis table, and tonnes of other stuff. Me and my friend always used to go sneak at the Mahjong playing area, where kinds were strictly forbidden, and used to make pyramids and towers out of these small interesting blocks since we didn't know how to play them, obviously. The funny thing was we almost never got caught but even when we did, the manager didn't usually do much but just kick us out of the area, talking gibberish in Chinese which we didn't understand. Fun times :)
+Holzkohlen The basics are : you pick a tile then discards another. By echanging tiles, you form a valid hand, with generally four triplets (three of a kind or rows, in the same family) and one pair, before the three other. The validity and hand value is determined by predefined score sheets. There are other small variants in games between the different rules.. Saki is about the japanese rules, Riichi. You can find the rules here passthrough.fw-notify.net/download/676557/mahjong-europe.org/docs/riichi_EN.pdf
My mom played it when I was little, but the American version with the cards always seemed stupid to me. By the time I got to college, I was playing it HK style...fast, with scoring sticks (money was settled later) like I play backgammon (with a doubling cube, even) or dominoes (6-love, i.e.). It's not hard to play, but, like Gin, it requires strategy and determination to play well. And yes, I play Oklahoma Gin (20 pts, 10 undercut, 100 game, double everything but boxes on spades, no laying off on gin, and complete double on schneidering [shutout] your opponent) Hollywood Scoring (3 games, but winning the first two obviates the third; otherwise, it's the difference). Learn it, and have fun!
Started to watch Akagi. Thought this would help. My head's spinning. Saw some other videos that explain the game in a matter of several hours (!). What a beast of game. I don't even.
I used to watch my great grandma play with her friends when I was between like 8 and 16 and they would potluck so I got to eat and chill. Filipino comfort foods and not a care in the world, man what a time wish I was a kid again. Miss my grammy. Miss her lumpia.
I tried to learn some basics of shogi, so I decided to go to a shogi online server....and they destroyed me, haha. So yeah, I'll stick to Outrun and pool as well. LOL 81dojo.com/en/
Not difficult once you know the rules. Maybe you can practice and play with this simple MjMj Puzzle mahjong game itunes.apple.com/ca/app/mjmj-puzzle/id1078507997?mt=8 Very good for learning mahjong and lot of fun.
This video is missing a few key pieces of information: - How to break the wall and deal. - Whether or not a Dead Wall is used. - What happens when you call Kong - do you draw a tile from the dead wall or from the live wall if the dead wall is not used. - How to declare a concealed Kong, or opting instead to conceal a Pung using 3 of the tiles and using the fourth to form a concealed Chow (though this is more advanced). - Seat winds and prevailing winds, used in every form of Mahjong. - How to score (actually the most important element). I can't find any information or detailed rules on their website, only the scoring sheet. They could do a lot to improve this.
There is a neighbor here with more 10 people in a small apt playing dominoe or this game day and night, weekends, the problem is when they shuffle the pieces and move around the table and kicking the floor. Every 5 minutes they shuffle the pieces, it's loud, travels to neighbor's ceiling, it seems somebody is rolling the whole floor, when they have their windows open you hear them the obnoxious shuffle, you can from the street. Neighbors already called the police because the game is all day and night and every 5 minutes the shuffle. It's insane. I wonder if they got addicted and making money on the game.
When I was a kid, i like to just stack them together to build a fortress whenever we have it in our house, I would try to make the fortress tough enough to endure me trowing tiles at it, it was fun.
So a winning hand has to have 4 melds and a pair, right? So the 4-of-a-kind type meld will never be in a winning hand because there aren't enough tiles (if you only have 13 plus the draw, 4 sets of 3 plus the pair take up all 14 tiles), right?
SgtSupaman : A quad counts as “three tiles”. When you call a quad, you draw a replacement tile. If you have three quads, you count that as nine tiles of your 13 tiles count.
Nice explanation. Thank you. I've known how to play for years, but I want my sisters to learn. I'll point them to this video. That being said, I still can't keep score.. I saw a book of scores once, and wow.. there are a LOT of ways to get big points. Hopefully, my younger sister can make more sense of it.. She's better with things like that, than I am. ^_^ Thanks so much for sharing!! 💗💗💗
This was an ad to go to their website. It was a brief description of an "ancient" Chinese game in a quaint way. Ancient? 120 years? Seriously? "Ancient" in China is over 2200 years ago. This is a Chinese version of a rummy game, and played with tile versions of Chinese money-suited cards. It's modern. It's fun. And although I learned it young, it wasn't until college that I really played it HK street style. These people were playing it way too slowly. It was like watching people count the points on a backgammon table, or taking time to explain that they couldn't collect rent on a property in Monopoly, rather than say, "it's-mine-it's-mortgaged". Yes, that's almost a single word. ;-)
It really is relatively simple. I've been playing for about 8 years and it's a lot of fun. But this isn't the best way to learn. I've taught many people how to play by setting the tiles up and then just walking around the table and playing each hand. It takes about 15 mins. to completely understand.
To start a mahjong game, the dealer rolls the dice, then see what the number of the dice is, count in an anti-clockwise direction, in order to see who goes first, then break the tile wall by the number of the dice. And every player takes 2 tiles, 13 tiles in their hand, The dealer has 14 tiles in his/her hand.
my aunt brought out our antique mahjong set our grandma bought in when she was still in asia, i always see them playing as a little kid, it's almost like a tradition to play. i'm youtubing everything, i'm not losing
It's longer than 1900 century. It was designed to entertain people in the royal cruise since Ming dynasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zheng_He so it's been 600+ years.
It's actually well explained but no yakus were mentioned. Which are mandatory if u want to win. Just go play mahjong and u will understand just with a video u will be confused no matter how many times u watch.
TLDR goal is to get a winning hand you will need sets of 3 duplicates or 3 in number order and a pair if a player takes a tile and puts it in the discard pile any player may clame it ONLY if it complements a set of 3 duplicate or in number order (rules for that but for basic first to clame gets it) if done so you must make the complated set face up and put the clame tile on its side. (thats it for the BARE bones if you like the game look more into its just poker on steroids)
1.What happnes when you “kang” and left with a last tile? 2. Can you only Kang when a player throw from the left of you or can you do it wherever like pong? 3. When is it aloud to pong, kang or chi? Is it right after the leader throw his/her first tile at the start of the game or is it when every one has picked up their first tile from the first draw wall and tossed their first tile?
You can pon, kan at any moment you can only chi when the discarded tile is from the person left to you... If you are left with only one tile because you used all the others to form chi, kon and pong you now obviously need a pair to win so whichever tile you have left in your hand you have to draw the identical tile, at that point you can't use any one else's tiles... Its called furiten when you are in a state where you must draw the winning tile and can't use your opponents

It is in the same class of games as rummy. If you just want a game with friends you do not have to remember all the ways of going out.

Exactly. They go so fast. Say something one time and no explanation follows. Waste of time

-When its your turn you can pick up a tile from the drawing pile and add it to your hand or discarding it. however if you keep it you have to discard another tile because you have the max of only 13 tiles.
-when you discard the tile a person can pick it up in order to create a meld, but they have to show it to everybody since they picked it up from the discard.
If somebody is confused comment below
Could you explain melds a little bit more and are there also some more rules before I dive in?
The video says 4x melds and a pair. So correct me if I'm wrong;
3x of the same
4x of the same
3x in same suite and sequence
Total: 10x
Then a pair of any
Total: 12x
That leaves me with only 1x more left as you can only have 13x at any one time.
So how does the 4th need for into this?
Mark Tan you can either have a pong ( meld of three) or a kong ( meld of four) so if you already have a pong (x3) then draw a fourth, then you declare a kong which means you get an extra draw on your go, effectively drawing two tiles during one go. Hence your mahjong is 15 tiles which gives you extra points. Easy
Huh
Do you use flowers, seasons, dragons, and winds to make a meld?
it does sound complicated at first but once you play a game or two the rules become pretty straightforward
How far I got in learning these rules before I got stuck:
1. Count the tiles.
Instructions unclear . Ended up in a strip club in Connecticut
You mean Dunkin.
Explaining the game through Rummy lol, but I don't play rummy either
Rummy is quite easy, maybe you could try and learn that before?

Exactly. It’s like when you look up a word definition and the definition is another word you don’t know.

perfectly clear. I didn't know how to play before and now I don't
I was too preoccupied with all the oranges on the ground to understand what you were saying.
ridiculously difficult to learn, but ts is so fun when u actually understand it
This is like when Jake explains card wars to Finn
Nice explanation. Thank you. I've known how to play for years, but I want my sisters to learn. I'll point them to this video. That being said, I still can't keep score.. I saw a book of scores once, and wow.. there are a LOT of ways to get big points. Hopefully, my younger sister can make more sense of it.. She's better with things like that, than I am. ^_^ Thanks so much for sharing!! 💗💗💗
I just want to learn how it works so I can read Kaiji 3
Same
I'm watching this for Yakuza 0
Well....so much for that Yakuza Kiwami platinum.
Anyone else want to learn how to play this game after watching “Crazy Rich Asians”
I loved the tiles they used in the movie, so that did make me want to buy them :)
这次分享的内容新颖高端,给人很强的启发。视频手法唯美简洁实在赏心悦目,质量放量兼顾真不容易!希望你以后一切顺利成长!期待来海燕论坛聚首!
me and my gf are watching to learn for our date nights!!!! 😄
This was an ad to go to their website. It was a brief description of an "ancient" Chinese game in a quaint way. Ancient? 120 years? Seriously? "Ancient" in China is over 2200 years ago. This is a Chinese version of a rummy game, and played with tile versions of Chinese money-suited cards. It's modern. It's fun. And although I learned it young, it wasn't until college that I really played it HK street style. These people were playing it way too slowly. It was like watching people count the points on a backgammon table, or taking time to explain that they couldn't collect rent on a property in Monopoly, rather than say, "it's-mine-it's-mortgaged". Yes, that's almost a single word. ;-)
The basics are simple enough. Some formalities that aren't important. The scoring system, however, come in many varieties and are very confusing.
It really is relatively simple. I've been playing for about 8 years and it's a lot of fun. But this isn't the best way to learn. I've taught many people how to play by setting the tiles up and then just walking around the table and playing each hand. It takes about 15 mins. to completely understand.
To start a mahjong game, the dealer rolls the dice, then see what the number of the dice is, count in an anti-clockwise direction, in order to see who goes first, then break the tile wall by the number of the dice. And every player takes 2 tiles, 13 tiles in their hand, The dealer has 14 tiles in his/her hand.
The only thing I learned from this video, is that those people need to harvest their oranges better. They're all on the bloody floor.
my aunt brought out our antique mahjong set our grandma bought in when she was still in asia, i always see them playing as a little kid, it's almost like a tradition to play. i'm youtubing everything, i'm not losing
i'm here because of akagi
Me too! Hahaha!
Kaito .X .otaku This is Chinese Mahjong, which is the original. Akagi plays the Japanese variant.
thelittlesagg2 ohh that why this video didnt help that much
+Kaito .X .otaku same LMAO!!!:D
Kaito .X .otaku ht9
I start seeing rainbows whenever someone start explaining those different tiles.
How the h£ll is this easy to learn and play
Where do you buy these large tiles? What's the tile size, they look bigger than the largest that I've seen for sale (42x29x22mm).
I came here after watching 'Claws'. I'd heard of the game, but I never knew how it was played.
These little rectangles are making me hungry! They look like keylime and white chocolate cubes! Yummy!!!
I’m here because of Saki. Watched the whole first season without understanding anything lol
Xavian Stormfang Oh, I see. I thought the only difference would be the terminology! Good to know, thank you (:
Actually it goes back to the Qin Dynasty (3rd Century BC). The game became popular in the West in 19th century.
Por favor sabe donde lo puedo encontrar en Español las instrucciones gracias Saludos desde puerto rico
Ah I see, it all makes sense now. Ten seconds later * mind gone blank*
It's longer than 1900 century. It was designed to entertain people in the royal cruise since Ming dynasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zheng_He
so it's been 600+ years.
The Yakuza games brought me here.
Yea boy
tiles looks like edible candy
Pick up all the oranges on the ground, for crisssakes
wow..so much for understanding AKAGI...big fan of kaiji so really wanna see AKAGI
It's actually well explained but no yakus were mentioned. Which are mandatory if u want to win. Just go play mahjong and u will understand just with a video u will be confused no matter how many times u watch.
ahhh.....I miss playing this game back home in Nepal, Kathmandu...
i lol'd at the end when i saw the music comes from royalty free Kevin MacLeod! brilliant!!
Everyone uses Kevin's music lol
Crazy Rich Asians brought me here!
Well, there is actually a formula to HU (win) in Mahjong, which is simply: n*AAA + m*ABC + DD, whereby mn>=0.
As clear as mud. There is a class at the senior center, maybe I should try that!
They don't even explain Yaku, which makes it so much more complicated
Can someone explain this spam on every single mahjong video? Also what would be the best way to learn? I don't really have anyone to play with...
Fuck you
2:08 sick riichi discard
What happens when its a Tuesday and the person on the left is mad at the person to his/her left?
Who else is here because the UA-cam algorithm suggested you a competitive mahjong match?
Akagi brought me here lel
Lol
Trafalgar Law you know this is a Chinese Mahjong? In Akagi, they play Riichi Mahjong, the rules of Riichi mahjong are much more complex though.
Hamza M What's Akagi?, is it an anime?.
+Trafalgar Law yup me too i would be in an actual mahjong game like .... ippatsu, pokemon, digimon , kanpai and reverse dora the explorer
Kaiji part 3 brought me here.
TLDR
goal is to get a winning hand
you will need sets of 3 duplicates or 3 in number order
and a pair
if a player takes a tile and puts it in the discard pile any player may clame it ONLY if it complements a set of 3 duplicate or in number order
(rules for that but for basic first to clame gets it)
if done so you must make the complated set face up and put the clame tile on its side.
(thats it for the BARE bones if you like the game look more into its just poker on steroids)
I know how to play I am very good at it but sometimes I loose track and forget what I am going for
There are so many variations it's crazy.
5:20 start here and you'll know about as much as i do after watching 17 times.
so here i am. learning how to play a whole game just to progress in yakuza 4
1.What happnes when you “kang” and left with a last tile?
2. Can you only Kang when a player throw from the left of you or can you do it wherever like pong?
3. When is it aloud to pong, kang or chi? Is it right after the leader throw his/her first tile at the start of the game or is it when every one has picked up their first tile from the first draw wall and tossed their first tile?
You can pon, kan at any moment you can only chi when the discarded tile is from the person left to you... If you are left with only one tile because you used all the others to form chi, kon and pong you now obviously need a pair to win so whichever tile you have left in your hand you have to draw the identical tile, at that point you can't use any one else's tiles... Its called furiten when you are in a state where you must draw the winning tile and can't use your opponents
