Lady Boss: The message is clear, let me briefly introduce the general rules of Mah jong.

Lady Boss: Playing Mah Jong is all about how you draw your tiles. There are 14 tiles in a set. Your winning set has one pair, and three remaining sets of three.

Lady Boss: These are examples of two of the three sets of three that can help you win. Three of a kind are called 'Pong' and a run of three consecutive numbers in the same suit is called a 'Chi'.

Lady Boss: So if you want to discard a tile, remember to leave a pair first, then the rest of the three sets will naturally come. It's okay! The tiles shown here are an example of a winning hand.

Lady Boss: So which of these two examples is a winning hand? The answer is the top hand because the bottom hand lacks a pair.

Lady Boss: How about it, do you have a grasp? Do you want to continue?

Yellow Box:
No problem, let's do it!

Purple Box:
I'm confused, can you repeat the rules?

Lady Boss: The let me introduce you to some special features of Japanese Mah Jong,

Lady Boss: Even if you have a "Khan" which is four of a kind, you are not allowed to call it as four of a kind is not apart of a winning hand in Japanese Mah Jong.

Lady Boss: The one who declares Mah jong gets to score fan (points). These fan are based on the contents of the winning hand. Here are examples of the most commonly used "fan": Thirteen Orphans (One of each Dragon and Wind, 1 and 9 of each suit and 14th tile forming a pair with any of these. The hand must be concealed but the winning tile can be taken from a discard), Big Four Winds (Pong of each Wind, and any pair) and Hidden Treasure (Four Pongs, any pair, all concealed, and win by self-draw).

Lady Boss: Of of the best hands to try and get is Thirteen Orphans. To do so, you must have 1 and 9 of each suit, one of each Dragon and Wind, and the 14th tile forming a pair with any of these.

Lady Boss: So please, which tile should be removed from the hand to form Thirteen Orphans winning hand? The answer is A.

Lady Boss: How about it, do you have a grasp? Do you want to continue?

Yellow Box:
No problem, let's do it!

Purple Box:
I'm confused, can you repeat the rules?

Lady Boss: There are also three Cardinal tiles called Dragons. They represent the red, green and white dragon.

Lady Boss: As long as you have three of a kind with any of the dragon tiles, they count as a Pong and can be used in a winning hand.

Lady Boss: So which card can be added to the hand to complete a Pong of green dragon tiles? The answer is B.

Lady Boss: How about it, do you have a grasp? Do you want to continue?

Yellow Box:
No problem, let's do it!

Purple Box:
I'm confused, can you repeat the rules?

Lady Boss: Before continuing, let's take a look at what the indicator board in the middle of the table looks like.

Lady Boss: The game begins with the person sitting east of the board.

Lady Boss: Which of these tiles represent East? The answer is B.

Lady Boss: How about it, do you have a grasp? Do you want to continue?

Lady Boss: What I've just explained are the most common rules of Japanese Mah jong. If you'd like to learn more or go over them again, they can be found in the "Rules" area of this game.

Lady Boss: Now that you know the rules, you can go to the second step and engage in light combat. You may also go directly into a game and skip the further guides all together.

Lady Boss: Of course the better choice is to go into the second step and engage in light combat but I wish you the best of luck and strength, whichever you choose. From Rijin ~

Dora: Are you the new guy? I won't give up the world championship title so quickly!

Angel: World Championship? You've barely played!

Dora: Hey stupid! Don't underestimate my potential!

Moe Moe: Hey, you two don't fight. This is not how we welcome new-comers!

Lady Boss: Right then, let's perform the opening ceremony!

Dora: Haha! Very good very good...I show you what fear really looks like playing a match against me!

Game Begin

Lady Boss: Let me first briefly discuss the function of the center table.

Lady Boss: East indicates that east goes first

Lady Boss: East is also one of four Cardinal directions represented on this center table.

Lady Boss: There are four rounds.

Lady Boss: The 69 on the table means there are 69 tiles left yet to be drawn.

Lady Boss: The 25000 represent how many points you have right now.

Lady Boss: Everyone's points in the first round are equivalent.

Lady Boss: That means everyone starts with 25000 points.

Lady Boss: To indicate who plays after the first person (East) starts the game is counter clockwise. It begins with East, then South, the West, then North.

Lady Boss: So you're the last player since you are North.

Lady Boss: you can choose to discard any tile you want. you judge for yourself.

Lady Boss points to which tile you discard (you don't actually get to choose)

Lady Boss: It seems your hand is suitable for choosing a 9.

Lady Boss: Your goal for when you discard a tile is to get rid of a tile you do not need in the winning hand you are trying to make. It appeared you did not need that green dragon tile.

Every one takes their turn
It is now your turn. Lady Boss points to which tile you discard (you don't actually get to choose)
You are guided to choose a tile from the discard pile
You are guided to call Chi
You are guided to discard a red dragon tile
You are guided to discard Bamboo 9 tile

Lady Boss: Okay! Let's draw our hand with Broken 9.

Click "Draw"

Lady Boss: Congratulations on your first win! But we need to know how many battle tickets you've won this round.

Lady Boss: Self-drawing means the tiles were drawn from the tile deck, not the discard pile.

Lady Boss: When your opponents take the tiles you've discarded and use it to create a winning hand, it is called "Fu".

Lady Boss: All the hands you used to draw and win will be listed here.

Lady Boss: This time, you only won using this Yaku or specific pattern of tiles. The type of yaku you use in each winning hand will be listed above.

Lady Boss: Becuase you've only done one round, you only win 1000 points.

Lady Boss: It's a good start!

Lady Boss: After the first round, the opponents and your scores will be updated on the center table board.

Lady Boss: This is you point to you. You will always be in this position (the North position).

Lady Boss: There are the points you received from winning the first round points to your score.

Lady Boss: It is much higher as opposed to the scores received by your opponents.

Lady Boss: Because your winning tile was taken from the discard pile, the 'owner' of that tile loses half of what that specific tile is worth and the other two opponents pay a quart of what its worth.

Lady Boss: If it is a tile drawn in a high-risk scenario, the owner of that discarded pile must pay the winner the full amount of that card.

Lady Boss: Okay, let's go to round two!

You are directed to discard your other white dragon

Lady Boss: If you get discard this tile, you can have a self-wind.

Lady Boss: Self-wind is to put in your hand the same Cardinal direction you are sitting in front of at the table.
