   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.
