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! 🙏🏾

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?
@MahjongSparrow
4 ай бұрын
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.

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. kzitem.info/news/bejne/0oyH34ptiH-Il3Y kzitem.info/news/bejne/0oyH34ptiH-Il3Y 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
@MahjongSparrow
4 ай бұрын
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

I got lost at the wind directions. Why don't they correspond to a typical compass?
@MahjongSparrow
4 ай бұрын
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!
@djYuz
4 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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 😅.
