Is there a mahjong video game with an actual story? Seems like it would be a cool idea

Yeah. Looks like the time for that was definitely in the Super Famicom era. I was replaying MLB Power Pros and I just thought holy shit that was a really fucking fun campaign mode. It would be pretty cool having a Mahjong RPG in which you'll be forced to go against people cheating and the story will alter based on if you win or lose certain events.

I'm envisioning an RPG where mahjong somehow provides the basis for spellcasting. Like they're runes or something.

Sounds like enough to start a Patreon.

Oh shit homie. You made me think of a good idea of a game.

1v1 RPG type game where you fight kinda like Puzzle fighter but with mahjong tiles. Calling Mahjong nets you an attack and the damage is based on how strong your hand is. You discard tiles at the same time and you can press a button to (chi/pon/kan) when the opponent gives you a tile. It'll be reaction based as well.

There are some Saki games.

Yuck

I've watched multiple videos on how to play Mahjong, but I still don't get it.

You can use cheats but most of your opponents do so as well.
no english release or translation

you just have to learn four sets and one pair and then work from there

this one came to my mind as well. it's a pretty good game with a story to it.

That looks pretty cool. Mind telling me more about it? How does "cheating" work? How's the story mode like?

>Is there a mahjong video game with an actual story?
Yes, this one.

I would assume this is something that /tg/ would cater but alas, it's just pen and paper d20 goblin rape stuff.

there are

there are so many variations of mahjong wtf
which ones should I bother to learn??

my dream story-based mahjong game would involve you going to a bunch of mahjong parlors and seeing how much cheating you can get away with

basically akagi the videogame

Riichi is the only one that matters.

Basically Saki games, a series of which I was an avid fan of once, but even I can't breathe anymore in its dense yuri atmosphere.

How do I become pro at Mahjong? I worked beside a casino that has a weekly Mahjong tournament and I want to put a bunch of old woman in their place.

it looks hard to learn but it's really not

Probably Chinese or American Mahjong. Everyone in this thread plays Riichi

Those old women will kick your ass til kingdom come. Especially if they're old Asian ladies. You'll never stand a chance.

Why does v play riichi over the other ones?

>tfw got Heavenly Handed
So much bullshit. I'm kinda glad this game is dead but I miss it.

Because theres anime of it. But also because it's more interest than Chinese Mahjong and not as fucked as American mohjong.

Riichi is the most competitively viable one, whereas Chinese rules are for gambling and extremely variable by region and American rules are a meme that changes every year so you have to buy all new scoring sheets constantly.
Plus Riichi is the nip ruleset and thus the most likely to be featured in Vidya. A new Riichi game in English just came out as well.

Yakuza most likely.

Does that mean American rules is Warhammer 40k?

Why the fuck is Kemono Mahjong the best android app, and why the fuck isn't there a version with normal anime titties or something? I'd rather have no portraits than deal with that shit.

Maybe you could make a mahjong vn where you get to rattle some girls in between

Pretty sure that's a thing.

>doesn't name one

There's several of those.

Sick

American mahjong is jewish mahjong. I'm not joking. Pretty much anyone you can find playing it is jewish

It still baffles me that Kemono Mahjong exists. Like not only was he catering to the small audience of english speakers who play mahjong, he was appealing to the very small niche of GAY FURRY english speaking mahjong.

Great app tho

That's why they have new sheets every year to make money.

Does yakuza count? The quest missions at least

>a mahjong video game
Which one is best for learning Riichi has tutorial mode or something like that on PC and PSVita?

What game?

If you just want to play against CPUs then Maujong is fine.

theres a bunch of nice solitaire games

Mahjong Soul

Just learn the basics.
Make 4 sets of consecutive numbers of the same suits and a pair
Don't Chi unless you've got 3 dragons or you're going for a full straight because you're fucked otherwise and usually can't go out
Only Pon for a third dragon or a third of your seat's wind (if you're east wind, pin that 3rd east wind tile) unless you want a hand of all triplets otherwise you're usually fucked and can't go out
Make a hand of only pairs if you've got a lot of pairs
Kan if no one has called riichi or if you're feeling ballsy
Don't get ron'd so look at tiles other people have discarded

What version is that in your pic? All I can find are chinese and japanese ones.

Switch got a port of an old mahjong eroge
Also I think some other mahjong game came out a few days ago that's getting a ton of advertising.

What do you mean? It's the english version
mahjongsoul.game.yo-star.com/

yeah that's mahjong soul

it's been getting a lot of attention because it's basically tenhou but 10 times more convenient and has anime tiddy

it doesnt have a 3p queue though..

stop bullying 3p or else

Is riichi mahjong popular in China? I'd imagine they'd be playing their chinese style of mahjong over japanese.

Ah, from your pic I thought it was a mobile game.

Let me guess: You just watched Akagi?

There are so many regional variants of mahjong in China that I can't really find any consistent ruleset that would qualify as "Chinese rules". The best I can tell of the major differences
>There's no riichi, obviously
>Some of the yaku are different and there aren't as many
>Opening your hand makes no difference to your score
>You don't need any yaku to win. In this case you only get the points of the fu.
>Scoring is slightly different.
>No dora, instead there are flower/season tiles which automatically give you bonus fu if you draw them. They aren't part of hands, you just put them aside if you draw them and then draw another tile from the dead wall. If you draw the flower/season matching your wind you get an extra han, and if you draw all four of a flowers or seasons it's yakuman.
There are variations on all of those in different rulesets but those are some of the common differences I've found.

Thank you, but I happened to know the basics, you've omitted some things like dora and scoring hands the letter could be found as lit or on wiki, though. Anyway, nevermind, I've found what I need.
>Don't Chi unless you've got 3 dragons or you're going for a full straight because you're fucked otherwise and usually can't go out
What is All Simples then? You've forgot it.
