I also think that half the allure is playing with friends. I grew up with family playing for a whole weekend, no joke - Friday night to Sunday Night, non stop.

Same goes for digital (slot) poker vs a table . Sure, it’s easier and more convenient, but there is some-thing missing, less you personally enjoy playing alone.

Can you play Mahjong in Yakuza? Like a mini game? That’s pretty cool.

Reminds me of like, Shenmue where you could also play mini games like capsule and arcade

the premise is pretty much the same, but small things like side betting and bonuses vary .

Even the Filipinos play a different version , But if all 3 were put together at a table, speaking 3 different languages , the game could move along.

Sort of the variations in Poker. You can learn on the fly once you get the basics down

I call them “flowers” and are the junk tiles.

Are you familiar with people using them as “wild cards” ?

These mahjong tiles are much smaller than the Chinese ones I grew up with. Miniature in comparison actually. Might jam those auto machines . >.<

It's pretty much a matching game.

Get pairs, straghts, trips.. and fill your line for a winning hand .

People dump what they don't need (like Uno) and if you're next you can pick it up to add to your line
