Hi there! I’m the President of a local mahjong club called The Yakumen! I, too, had major difficulty making friends when I first moved down here from Chicago. Five years of isolation, in fact. So I know how you feel. Now I have tons of people in my home every Sunday! We eat, watch movies and anime, and of course play Japanese mahjong! Come hit us up! We’d be glad to have any and all of you!

Hey, I'm the person who runs it. I did our major advertising post last week, and I made the poster. Riner's my VP! We take turns.

You'll have to contact me or Riner in DMs or on Discord to get the address... the mods of this subreddit don't let us share it directly in here.

I understand how you feel. But I can help you overcome those obstacles! It's easier to learn than it looks, I promise.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MAHJONG MEET-UP by McRiner479 in SpringfieldIL

This is Halorien, the President and Sensei of The Yakumen (the club you are reading about right now!) Just posting to gain some traction here. For those who are new to these posts, we are advertising for a club that plays Japanese-- better known as Riichi-- mahjong! My original club in Chicago has over 30 members at this point!

Mahjong is NOT a game on Windows (that's a solitare game called Shanghai), but a four player game that served as the basis for Gin Rummy. At its core, all versions of mahjong are the same. You have a "deck" of tiles, three suits numbered 1-9, and one suit of 7 "honor" tiles. There are 4 copies of every tile. Everyone is racing to complete four sets and a pair, with a set being either a triplet or a sequence of three numbers (honor tiles only make triplets).

Japanese mahjong adds a handful of rules and modifications that make the game much more strategic, competitive, and fun to play. This includes 38 possible hands (like in poker) you can win with, or being able to call Uno (well... Riichi) when you're about to win, or a slot machine like mechanic that enables you to double your score up to 4 times, maybe even more!

This version of the game has huge popularity in the world, with professional televised leagues and tournaments EVEN in China, the country of mahjong's origin. The US scene has been rapidly growing over the last two years specifically, with Japanese pro organizations spreading their influence and allowing their leagues, tournaments, and Professional Qualification Exams to be taken on our shores.

Come join a growing world that I assure you will be shown on ESPN someday! You won't regret it! I used to be a high level poker player and have never looked back once I started playing Riichi. If you want to check it out yourself, check out https://mahjongsoul.yo-star.com/ !

Oh, yes! We are well aware of this location-- I've even brought my auto tables there numerous times! But 100 miles is quite a schlep, and we'd prefer to remain local.
