And We’re Back
Mar 30th, 2011
by admin
Hello to everyone from ever-shaking Japan. The ReachMahjong.com team was able to make it out of the disaster unharmed, but there were a few weeks there with shaky power, shaky internet and of course shaky grounds. There have literally been hundreds of aftershocks since the big quake on March 11th and we’re playing mahjong through them. Thank you to everyone who sent us messages and hopefully we didn’t have you too worried. The situation is still bad all over the North but we’ll be here for you straight from Tokyo moving forward1

Vienna Here I Come!
Nov 4th, 2010
by Gemma
So I missed the Red Fives tournament in the Netherlands. Unfortunately I couldn’t take time off work to attend… But luckily I’d booked in the Vienna tournament months in advance so I’ve been working myself up for this one.
I’m hoping for some good games. If I’m honest, I haven’t played a game I’ve been happy with for a long time. I guess I’m lucky that I can see the horrible mistakes I made, but I don’t seem to be able to correct myself…
Superstition is my biggest problem. So pre-tournament superstitions after the jump.
