│  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.
