Riichi Mahjong is a game created by Nobuyuki Fukumoto in his famous manga, "Ten (ways to WIN BIG BY GAMBLING!!!!!!)". It is played by discarding tiles until you lose. The first person to lose loses.


Riichi mahjong is played with four players. Each player has thirteen tiles in their hand. The object of the game is to have these tiles in a shape such that there are four sets of triplets and/or sequences and a pair, except for when you win with a different shape. In addition, you must also satisfy at least one yaku.

The government doesn't want you to know this but poker is just less-cool looking mahjong.

Calls

An enthusiastic mahjong player declaring riichi.

When a player discards a tile, their tile can be "called on" and taken by other people. There are many possible calls:

  • Pon
    • Pon is used to complete a set of three of a kind (three tiles of the same rank and the same suit). After calling "Pon!" (or Pung), point to the tile you are using to complete the triplet, and then violently slam the other two tiles on the table. Slamming the tiles down harder gives you more fu i think.
  • Kan - There are three different ways to call Kan. Kan is also sometimes called Kong.
    • Closed Kan: If you have three of the same tile in your hand and you draw the fourth one, draw it and dont tell anyone. Keep the fourth tile in your sleeve so nobody knows you have a closed kan.
    • Called Kan: If you have three of the same tile in your hand and someone discards the fourth one, you call "Kong!" and a giant gorilla comes out of the table and kills you.
    • Extending a Pon: If you called pon earlier, and draw the fourth tile, you may call "Kan!" to add it to your meld. No joke here sorry
  • Chi
    • Chi (or chow) can only be called on tiles discarded by the player to your left. Calling chi is used to complete a run of 3 tiles in the same suit. When calling chow you point to the tile, call "Chi"/"Chow", pick up the tile and eat it. You must also show the other players the tiles in your hand you are using to form the run, and eat them as well. The tiles will not be replaced.
  • Ron
    • This is the guy from Harry Potter. If you see him make sure you call "Ron!" so that everyone at the table knows and can catch him before he gets away. You may also use this in case of a Ronald Event.
  • Tsumo
    • oh wait did i say you can only call on other peoples discards. um. uh. tsumo is when you discard your winning tile and then call on it to win. this puts you in furiten though. i think this call only exists for like traditional reasons
  • DUDE WHAT THE HELL
    • This can be called by any player at anytime
  • Riichi (also known as calling 'uno' in the west)
    • After discarding a tile, you may turn it sideways and say "Riichi!" to look cool. Some people spell it as reach. Doing this invokes a 16000 point chombo penalty because thats stupid
  • Kita
    • Special rule for if you only have two friends. The north tile sucks now so you get bonus points for it instead. I just found out about this.
    • VERDICT: SUCKS
  • Kill
    • Kills the opponent.
