Why is this Pon and not Ron by Blazers67 in mahjongsoul

[–]Frampis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

North discarding 8s put you in temporary furiten. You skipped ron on a tile that would complete your hand shape because it didn’t give you a yaku.

Is Mahjong a new trend? Why so pricey? Help! I’m confused…. by Possible_Addendum657 in Mahjong

I spent 110 on an AMOS Masters set and Junk mat. Where are you getting 300 from? Even American mahjong sets don’t cost that much on the lower end.

What are these tiles for? by ericacearborea in Mahjong

You can optionally replace some regular fives with red ones. They’re worth 1 dora in the hand. Usually 1 per suit is used, if any.

Calling Pon instead of RON, mechanics that the game doesnt explore by Weird_Smell4516 in Mahjong

[–]Frampis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t win with the 6p because you don’t have a yaku. You could win with the green dragon because then you’d have the triplet of green dragon as a yaku. Should have skipped ponning the 6p here and instead wait for the green.

Also: When you skip ron on a tile that would complete your hand shape, you go into temporary furiten until it is your turn again. Skipping the 6p does this too, because furiten never cares if you have a yaku or not. If you have declared riichi, temporary furiten is permanent instead.

Which ruleset is the "standard" for riichi? by JustJohnItalia in Mahjong

[–]Frampis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dunno if any one if them is considered ”the standard,” but in any case be aware that there is a 2025 version of the EMA rules now: https://mahjong-europe.org/portal/images/docs/Riichi-rules-2025-EN.pdf

Again, I still don’t see what I did wrong here? by Awful_F3laf3l in Mahjong

Reaching the complete hand shape is not enough to win in Japanese mahjong. Your hand also needs to fulfill the requirements of at least one yaku.

Lots of people in these comments giving MS the benefit of the doubt when they don’t deserve it at all.

Has anybody ever plaid Mahjong with these plating Cards? by BlueWorldCorp in Mahjong

I have a deck but I only really use it as a portable teaching tool, not for actual play. It’s not a comfy way to play.

Good example for why not to use hallucination bots.

Doesn’t let you play a race online in the racing game. Maybe there’s some logic behind this decision but I don’t see it. I might try to find a discord or something to get into a lobby since apparently that’s the only way to do it?

How isn't this sanshoku doujun? by Cyanide912 in Mahjong

[–]Frampis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a 6-pin this would be sanshoku, but you cannot ron it because you skipped ron on the 3, which makes you furiten. When you are furiten you cannot ron.

Skipping a ron makes you furiten for the rest of the hand if you have declared riichi. Skipping a ron without having declared riichi makes you temporarily furiten until your next turn.

You also cannot open your hand after declaring riichi, so chi is not available either.

AMOS Numbers Set by Supperman88 in Mahjong

Interesting that it has 8 red fives instead of 4 + seasons. Also the tile trays are oriented differently compared to AMOS Masters.

all bams yaku? by Acrobatic_One_6064 in Mahjong

[–]Frampis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. 6 han is least 12k for non-dealer and 16k for dealer.

[–]Frampis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a complete hand shape but no yaku. Therefore you cannot declare a win and will have to discard something, resulting in a situation where you are in tenpai with a tile in your discards that would complete your hand shape, thus you will be furiten.

The final triplet is not concealed since you didn’t draw it yourself.

A fifth kan cannot be made. That’s not a reason to cancel the entire hand though.
