As an optional rule, riichi mahjong can also be played with one five from each suit being replaced with a red five tile. Riichi mahjong does not use the flower or season tiles found in Chinese sets, nor the joker tiles used in American Mah Jongg. In addition to the three suits, there are Honour/Value tiles, which are made up of two subsets: Winds: (East, South, West, North respectively)ĭragons: (Green, Red, White respectively) (The numbers are represented with the Chinese/Japanese number characters) (Note that the 1 Sou is represented with a bird, usually a peacock or owl, rather than a single stick) Pinzu (aka Pin, Circles, Dots): The majority of the tiles consist of the numbers 1 to 9 in three ‘suits’, which are: Souzu (aka Sou, Bamboo, Sticks): Riichi mahjong is played with 34 different tiles, of which there are four of each type, to make up 136 tiles used in total. The aim of this guide is to teach enough of the key aspects and basics for someone who is new to the game to start playing on a computer client such as the Gamedesign Flash game, rather than to be a comprehensive guide to all the rules and edge-cases that exist in the game. Riichi mahjong can be a fairly complex game for beginners to pick up.
It shares similarities with Rummikub, and card games such as gin rummy and poker. It is a tabletop game that is played by four players, with each player having a hand which they must try and complete to win points from the other players. Riichi mahjong is a Japanese variant of the ancient Chinese game of mahjong.
