I vote we play the Zung Jung variant of Mahjong on the site https://maque.games/ -- very minimalist game site, no ads, guests OK Zung Jung is a good variant of mahjong because it's pretty forgiving and makes it easier for people to be creative with scoring hands, relative to HKOS or Riichi. This is a democracy so if weebs demand we play riichi that's an option. Mahjong is a game that takes about 2 minutes to learn. Draw a tile, throw a tile away. If the guy before you throws away a tile that lets you make a straight, you can take it. If anyone throws away a tile that lets you make 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind, you can take it. Certain combos, based on relative rarity/difficulty, score really high points. A finished hand is basically 4 sets (set: 3 of kind or 3 in a row) with a pair to finish it. If we play together on VC, I think everyone could learn the rules pretty quick; the biggest obstacle is finding a day and time that everyone can set aside 1-3 hours away for. Until we can find 4 people to play a game of mahjong, I suggest people can play Rummy on cardgames.io to warm up in smaller groups (2-3) : it tickles the same part of the brain. |
