Recent studies have shown that the 2 sou tile in mahjong is a very average tile. It’s just sou sou

Today I came across these mahjong chocolates in a gelato shop. I still remember the time when chocolate was difficult to find in China, but nowadays one can buy pretty looking chocolate pralines even here in Kunshan.

Agree. I’m a big fan of Kemono Mahjong as a teaching tool. Plus you can recommend it without looking like a creep. 10/10.
RLB: kemono mahjong is a phenomenal teaching app and a very solid playing experience, and if you have any interest in non riichi mahjong plays tiles, please make some noise! They've already got one app under their belt, so I would absolutely feel safe with them at the helm for another.

Amazing statistic for team raiden player kurosawa saki.
My call rate on riichi city is 36% after 50 games.
The average call rate in the last m league season is about 20% after around 24 games.

i think if you do make a face, it shouldn't be AT someone. but faces at the table or at a hand should be ok. Seeing the players react to the game is like 50% of the reason there are so many people tuning into M league without even knowing how to play mahjong

I’m lucky that I had the backing of a larger statewide group.
Once I had the sets, the schedule, and a local brewery that graciously hosts us for free, people just started showing up to learn how to play.
Most weeks we don’t have a 4-player table but we still have fun, and we’re growing steadily.

All of the above, to a degree. Also, getting your existing friends into mahjong is a big ask. There's a lot of rules and memorization compared to other games, and playing is also a decently big investment of time.

mahjong sets are a bit harder to acquire than other board games and I need to convince 2-3 other people to sit down and learn it for a good while 😢

What are your obstacles to starting your own riichi mahjong group?
Expertise in your area?
Logistics like space?
Crippling anxiety about engaging and leading people?
WRC is all very well but we need to support the bottom of the pyramid if the community is to grow.
