Re: My hand of the week

Ignatius - Hang in there! Maybe seek support in the current post and for your welfare if possible. Steve - Renhou could also be blocked if a player had already called Chii/Pon off someone else's first discard. Shame not to get the recognition but still pretty cool to do - and certainly better as the...

Re: Newbie introduction

Hi Hobo and welcome. :) Feel free to start a new thread or browse through all the old threads and resurrect one as required. I've mainly played on game consoles. I don't think I've played Mahjong Nagomi but the presentation looks pretty nice in screenshots. How're you getting on with the app and mah...

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

It could be that the game servers are temporarily down for maintenance or a fault.
If it's an old game, they might've even have been shut down.

Good to see something other than tumbleweeds here.
Glad you're still keeping up with the mahjong. :)

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

Hey Steve. It says that the transmission failed.
Please try again in a "good communication environment"!
The red button is just to close the message.

I guess they need to try a better mobile/wifi signal.

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

D3 are also releasing Simple Series G4U Vol.2 The Table Games for PS4 and PS5 next month.

(Volume 1 on PS4 was their mahjong game way back in 2014!)

Not sure if there's an English version like on Xbox.

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

Another unexpected addition to the directory today - in the Xbox section. :o Last month D3 released one of their tabletop game compendiums and it seems to be available in English too. https://www.d3p.co.jp/simple_xbox/01_tablegame/en/ It includes 4-, 3- and 2-player versions of mahjong. Multiple var...

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

Just multiply the minipoints by about a billion for a non-dealer win! Yay, Aotenjou. :D Going back to Steve's post from a couple of years ago, I happened to spot those exact same icons today in Microsoft Teams' emoji menu! The mouseover text even gives a standard definition for each: 有 not free 無 fr...

I am grateful for your input.

I am also grateful for the Yakuman limit! I've already seen Karen drop a 26-Han win. :o

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

This is great, thanks. Will definitely incorporate this in my guide - with credits to you of course. For the Yakuman one, Tangorin.com says 指折り expands to 指折り数える which means "counting on your fingers". Then you have 13 and the sticks countword which can also be used for fingers, so I think you're co...

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

I'm kinda rusty and too used to playing bots. Don't think I've played online since Janline-R a dozen years ago...?! I'd probably get the trophy for ten matches before the trophy for one win! :oops: I've posted my original attempt at the trophy names in the other thread. It's not essential to get the...

This is my first quick attempt from Friday night at translating the PSN trophy titles from Two Jong Cell on PS4 (2022). Am happy with some; others not so much. 1 Let's Play Mahjong [Bronze] 2 Counted on Thirteen Fingers [Silver] 3 Youth and Starting Tiles Won't Wait [Bronze] 4 'A Sight for Sore Eyes...

Re: Overview of current mahjong video-games

Thanks! I'd appreciate your perspective.

No rush - I'll be hammering away at the challenges for a while as yet and trying to come up with helpful tips.
