Still playing?

[Jamie Thao]

Hi!

 

I was wondering if this group was still meeting up and playing?

I want to learn how to properly play and count. I usually play online Japanese style.

 

I hope to hear back from someone!

Hi Jamie,

Sadly, I have not carved out time to have a play session recently. Life is a bit busy, but I'm hoping to plan one soon. If anyone else wants to make one happen, I can certainly provide support: rules, score cards, mahjong sets, and I may even play and teach.

A couple of us can help teach Riichi style, but we usually play Zung Jung, and even then, only a few of us like to keep score.

Hope to see you soon,
Chris

I would be able and willing to play some riichi. Depending on length of notice I may have some friends who could join.

I play Riichi but live in Marshall so have never been able to make a  session.

Moved to Minneapolis in November but seems like the group is kind of dead?

Hi Jared,

It's true that I haven't run an event in quite some time.

What style are you looking to play, or is mahjong new for you?

Hi Jim and welcome to the group!

We teach and play Zung Jung style which will be easy for a Chinese
Official player to pick up in no time. Here are the main differences:
- There is no minimum score
- There are only 44 scoring patterns instead of 81 (no mixed shifted
chows, for example)
- Payout is always 3 times your score

As it happens, I can only get a few people to keep score so I'm glad to
have some more competitive players.

I hope to get a game together in the next couple of months.

I play Riichi Mahjong, have played it in various online versions and I play with a group of people at the Anime Detour convention.  I'm open to learning other styles since I don't really know anybody directly who plays.  I do have a riichi set.

[Nikki Valens]

Hahaha, the group you played with at Anime Detour was probably me. I also enjoy riichi. No other plans for mahjong currently, but I will be at Anime Detour again this year. Maybe I'll bring my table in to play a bit again.
