Re: Interesting set on eBay UK
I have a set of those racks. They were sold separately, so it was up to the consumer to decide what type of tiles to use with it. I believe the racks to be older than the seventies. The tiles are possibly also older than the seventies. I've seen those come detached from the backs. Not sure why the s...

Today's WWYD
Today's WWYD is on the ReachMahjong front page, but in case you don't feel like going there, here it is: http://reachmahjong.com/en/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/wwyd2.png Clearly I've been shooting for tanyao to this point, but to throw 9S is to choose between either the red 5S or dora, when...

Re: "Brailling" tiles
The only tile you can thumb-read is your own tile, while you're taking it from the wall.Goldeneye wrote:How legal is "Brailling" during a tournament?
The tile is yours regardless of how you read it.
How legal is it to eyeball your own tile, while you're taking it from the wall?

Re: Pao Rules/Insurance Penalties...
I wonder how fair is it to extend Pao to Suu Kan Tsu, considering it is virtually the rarest Yakuman to make. Fairness is in the eye of the players at the table. If the four at the table don't like that rule, they don't use it. If it's not a question of tables, but a question of house rules or tour...

Re: When was Dai Suu Shii changed to Two Yakuman?
Prior to Sloper's Shanghai Dynasty, I always remembered that Dai Suu Shii was awarded One Yakuman - the original Yakuman GB game gave it just One Yakuman. I wonder when that got changed so that it gets awarded Two Yakuman? (Or more in general when multiple Yakuman was started to be established) Tha...

2. Huh?

Re: Discussion regarding rule sets based around Riichi and M
It seems many of my gamer peers [on BoardGameGeek] advocate Zung Jung over either Riichi or MCR. What are your thoughts about Zung Jung? I haven't played ZJ but I've looked over the rules and I know the designer. The main thing to know about ZJ is that it was designed by an expert player, expert in...

Re: Discussion regarding rule sets based around Riichi and M
Jesper,
You might have just graduated from novice with that post! (^_^)
Yes, MCR is not very defense-friendly. The Japanese-style orderly discards and marked exposures help a little, but the rules permit activity that circumvents defensive play.
