Mahjong is a tile-based game that’s been played in Asia for over 300 years and is gaining global popularity. Although the game is hard to master, it’s fairly easy to learn the basics.

I see u in every comment section
Sets of 3 is the easy way. I guess from a japanese?
I stopped thinking. Just eat it.
don't we all?
You get your tiles and find out what sign will be the "impostor." Then, you need to remove the blank faces and the other words without numbers on them, unless one of these "money tiles" is the "impostor." All tiles need to be in a group such as three of the same simbles, the signs in order, 123, 234, 345, 456, 567, 678 or 789. You can also have a set of four tiles that have the same simble, if you'd like, you can flip your four cards face down. You need a foundation which is two of the same simbles. When you win you call out "Hu le" and reveal your complete set of tiles.
"Remember to have fun"
The Yakuza games would like to disagree.

and smooth
And beautiful 😍😍
They kinda look like laundry detergent or candy I can’t tell which
Don't lick them.
i want to play because of the tiles haha
TBH, this is not a good explanation video of how to play the game....
I agree, it's a clickbait
well they kind of missed one really important aspect to mahjong, money you know gamblin n shit
Then make your own video on how to play this game.

I rewatched that part like 10 times, trying to figure out what unspoken wizardry was occurring, and why the narrarator didnt even acknowledge it.
As a majiong player they are missing very key detail;
There are three sets of 10 numbers from bamboo pancakes and the characters.
You also collect 4 sets of 4 tiles at the beginning of the game
When you restart a game you will build 2 layers stacked above each other with 18 tiles in each layer
You rotate to be the first person.leader and you draw first, and roll the dice. The dice determines which layer of tiles we will start off from. Once you have collected the tile you then make your first move. After that regularly you take one and throw it into the pile in the middle.
I think this might be simplified for beginners
@@rosinamatthewspeita3945 yea
Are you playing Taiwanese mahjong? Cuz Taiwanese mahjong start with 16 tiles but most variations start with 13. They are playing Hong Kong style mahjong with bamboos, characters, and circles from 1-9 with 4 sets each. And with wind and dragon tiles.
@@avalxnche5818 Yea I play Taiwanese mahjong
.... can you simplify thus more?

Basically she gave up her winning tile to Eleanor who won the game and then when she (Rachel) showed her hand, Eleanor realised that one again Rachel sacrificed for her (Eleanor's) sake

"Try to think of them as playing cards in poker"
Me: OK I'll watch a video on how to play poker.
Ok, I must watch a video that explains what playing cards are first, then I watch these others. I must also watch a video on how to learn how to watch videos.
People who played Mahjong in Windows 7: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you.
I remember playing that
That was a puzzle game and very different from real life mahjong rules, I feel cheated when I found out lol
@@multatuli1 that’s what I’m thinking I just watched this video and was like um that is not how it’s played when u download it on your phone Iv never played like that
I jist got my 7 yr old addicted to microsoft mahjong. We love it. (Our only experience with mahjong) I came here to learn how to play in real life....so apparently mahjong is not mahjong.
The tiles look delicious
Baked like a cake, eh friend? 🤣
Yes
They look like expensive candies from the realm of the middle😂
This seems nothing like from what I played on windows 7
What you played on windows is Mahjong solitaire, a very simple game, mahjong is also simple but requires more than 1 player to partake
Lolll ikr that's why I came here and then was confused
@@EzraMerr Turkish
@@EzraMerr So it was pretty much like comparing Solitaire to Poker?
@@gamechanger8908 pretty much yeah
My great grandmother, aunts, and uncles would always play mahjong downstairs in the basement. Every time I visited my grandmother's house I would hear the clinking and rolling of the tiles. Then after every round, I would hear them mix them all up. I never asked them what the game was or how to play it (because I thought it was an "old people's" game), but now I know!
I'm here cause i'm playing a video game and one of the side missions requires me to win a mahjong match
B- Gucci judgement?

I'm here because of Sleeping Dogs
is mahjong in sleeping dogs? i have every achievement in it and didnt notice. I am sitting here with yakuza kiwami 2 and How do i win at majong
I didn't realize this was a multi player game. I have only ever played the computerized versions of it and it's always been single player. Very interesting.
The same way you can play many games with a standart deck of cards you can play many games with a set of mahjong tiles
@@funkysagancat3295 But it's very curious that in the videogame world, only the solitarie version has emerged, giving the impression that it's all there is to it.

You mean as easy as chess?

@@lemonade3027 umm...easy as chess. Did i say anything wrong?
After 10 years of wanting to learn chess, I still don’t get it. I’ll stick to checkers
Mahjong can also be played with 3 people
Tho the rules r slightly different to 4 players
There's one thing they didn't mentioned
Is that when u get the 'bonus' tile
You are required to remove them from your deck and redraw new tiles
It’s not that fun when your parents’ friends come over and start gambling with it
Finally I can 100% Yakuza
This video didn't include some other information that is pretty important. Although the best way to learn is by actually playing it, I'll put down some additional info below. If it's confusing, just ask and I can clarify.
You don't need 4 people to play every time. You can also play with three, or even two, but it's a lot more fun to play with 4.
You can 'pong' anytime when someone drops a tile, but you can only 'chi' if the tile you need is dropped by the person before you.
You don't roll the dice to decide who goes first (or at least, that's how I know it). You roll it to determine how many tiles you skip.
When you 'gong', you put the tiles down and pick another tile from the group of tiles that you skipped at the beginning (^).
When you 'chi' and 'pong', you must put the tiles down, face up.
When you draw a tile and get a 'gong', you can choose to put them face up or face down when putting them down.
If you 'gong' from someone else's tile, you must put it face up.
There are 3 main groups of tiles and 1 group of special ones: Circles, numbers, and sticks. Then special.
For the special group, it is impossible to 'chi', but it is possible to 'pong' or 'gong'.
The way 'chi' works is that it needs three tiles of the same group in consecutive order.
For example, you have circle 5 and circle 7. The person before you puts out a circle 6. You can 'chi' their tile, but you lose your turn to draw from the center.
The little birdie is not a special tile. It may seem strange, but it's actually the 1 of the sticks group.
Every time you draw a tile, 'chi', 'pong', or 'gong', you must put out one of your tiles.
Yesss I was looking through the comment section for this
My family introduced me to Mahjong a while back and it’s so fun
Can I ask about "chi" "pong" & "gong"
Is it Chi = 3 chronological order of a tile
Pong = 2 pairs
Gong = 4 pairs? Is this right?
@@teiichi_nekomono Almost! You're right about chi (chronological order) and gong (4 tiles of the same type), but pong is 3 tiles of the same type. Birdie, birdie, birdie, for example! Two tiles of the same type would just be a pair. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
I have a pain in my head after reading that and trying to understand it. I still don't get it.
@@laughingallthetime50 Ah, sorry for making your head hurt, but I guess that is to be expected. This game isn't a game where you can just read the rules and automatically know how to play, you have to actually play it to understand.
No wonder the COVID-19 group restriction limit started with 4 people
apparently, in mahjong soul, we can play with just 3 people lol
I played this with my aunts.
Warning: This is addicting
Agree
Yeah have you seen pachinko even more
"the rules are slightly different in the many variations"
Riichi Mahjong: hold my saké
Riichi mahjong it's so confusing
Washizu Mahjong: Hold my blood vials!
I was excited to learn mahjong in 2.5 minutes. I’m more confused than ever before.
There are still certain rules not explain here in 2.5 minutes. Some tiles can pick up by certain players when is discarded depend on the set and who is more authorize to pick up discarded tiles if more than one player need that same pieces. Also! the player who discarded the tiles that help one of its opponents to win that game has to pay a full or double price while the other two only pay half of its amount. If a player win the game by getting the tiles off the set, then everyone has to pay the full amount.
In some counties here in China people would use ZHONG (an honour tile) to represent any tile (it can be whatever tile you want it to be) - this brings in tons of variations and really challenges people's mind. But it's more exciting to play. Also people would set four, or six, or eight as betting for either players themselves or even bystanders - it makes the betting much higher and somtimes crazier. Anyway, Majiang is such an addictive game
I agree! That's one of the rules of "okey" which I'm guessing is the Turkish version of Mahjong, never even thought of playing without that lol
The key is to remember that you bring extra money.
Just play it for fun without gambling... When I was in college, I always play it without putting money as a bet... Just doing stupid thing as the bet... 😅
@@AerisReyha that probably in America, in China it ain't about having fun. Lol im jking

thanks for this! so helpful! me and my cousin are in love with this game!
Hi, Your comment hits home with me, and I like that you seem relaxed and very open. Life is to enjoy, laugh, communicate and have a connection with someone special who has a zest for life and all things in it. I like to be active, and I tend to find the humor in life. It's my feeling that people need adventure, laughter, and passion... Let's talk and see where life takes us.
Started playing mahjong when I was 4.. without the money of course ☺️ It actually helps me with my math 😂
Its actually pretty easy to learn what the rules are, BUT memorozing all of the possible hands is what makes Mahjong so difficult to play for me
POV: You’re trying to finish that one Sleeping Dogs mission.
Thx! Been wanting a nice easy way to learn this game for a long time!
well i'm getting ready to watch akagi.....
"Remember to have fun"
Me: "I win the game cause I had fun"
My friends: "Bro are those uno cards"
Ah yes, Mahjong, the greatest enemy of all who play the Yakuza video games :P.
Also judgement.

err- thanks.
My Filipino Uncle is Addicted to this Game now He looks like A Chinese LOL
Ok the tiles are so satisfying to look at or hold them
Me: still doesn’t understand how to play
There's way too many variations in Asia.
But basically a short run down is that there are points we call them " Tai ".
If you have no flowers or animals you have 0 points. You can't win the game like this. Either you wait until a flower comes to you, or you can form patterns.
The most basic pattern is called " Peng Hu ". Basically you can only form patterns that are in ascending order. So 4,5,6 or 3,4,5. And you must have a pair of tiles that we call an eye.
You cannot have 3 of the same or you cannot game.
Extra restrictions are, your eyes can't be the direction tiles that are your wind or the general wind.
Okay this is complicated but every round there is a " wind " associated with it. It's either east, south, west, or north. If you form 3 of a kind with that win, it's automatically 1 point. If you get 4, everyone pays you.
And the place you're seated at determines your direction too. The dealer is east, and going anti clockwise, south, west, north.
Another restriction with Peng Hu is that if you want to end the game eating someone else's tile, it can't be the middle
For example, if you have
4 and 6 bamboo and you're waiting for 5 to game, you can only win by taking it yourself you can't win by eating others.
The only way is if you have 5 and 6 bamboo then you can win by eating 4 or 7.
Peng Hu gives you 4 points immediately. If you win by yourself everyone pays double. If someone gives it to you, the person pays double.
In my childhood, I always played mah-jong with computers and never lose, but now as I have learnt the rules and basics, I never win.
Playing Japanese crime drama games and being a westerner completionist is a dangerous mix.
thank you. thanks to this video i play mahjong with my friends all the time. lots of love from algieria
Trying to learn how to play this so that I can complete a side quest on Yakuza Kiwami 2
Literally same.
Learned it when I was 9 and the amount of money I won is incredible. Stopped playing it at 20. In our version chi is called chow or cha. Pong is pong and gong is kang.
Wow! I am going to dust off my set and re-learn how to play. You made it so simple. Thank you!
Short n sweet. Will definitely try and play with my friends here in Hong Kong
Why does the Mahjong tiles look so delicious?
Because you are five years old and should not be on the Internet or on your daddy's computer!
7 year old me: ok today I'm going to build a pyramid.
Where do you get these specific tiles, they look so nice!
Just left Hong Kong for NY & say the shops and parlors. Cant wait to learn. Thx
Bout to smoke every auntie in my neighborhood with this skill acquired within 2 minutes
For some reason It came to my mind the saying “Takes a moment to learn, takes a life to master”
Thank you for sharing this, Winnie!
I've been looking to buy a set but every set I find seem to have smallest tile size and American version have even smaller one... By curiosity, what sizes are these tiles you have been using?
"Hi I'm winning"
I'm in the right place.
How about the animals? And biting of flowers and animals? Singapore and Malaysia style include the 4 animal tiles (cat, mouse, centipede and chicken).
Ohhhhh that part............. another story
Jason Tung When u draw the animals and flowers u have to draw another card from the opposite direction of the normal place where u draw the cards
STILL little confusing for me to start playing yet always want to learn how to play it recently. so I came on CZcams to learn. May have to watch this video several more time to finally get hang of it. Thank for video.

I can’t beat her she’s winnie.
My set came with different colored mahjong coins. (Red, yellow, blue, green, and white). Is there a standard value or relative value of each color? Is red lower than yellow or blue, etc? In poker for example, white chips tend to be the lowest value.

The Tiananmen Square protests, known in China as the June Fourth Incident,[1][2][a] were student-led demonstrations held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China, lasting from 15 April to 4 June 1989. After weeks of unsuccessful attempts between the demonstrators and the Chinese government to find a peaceful resolution, the Chinese government declared martial law on the night of 3 June and deployed troops to occupy the square in what is referred to as the Tiananmen Square massacre. The events are sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement,[b] the Tiananmen Square Incident,[c] or the Tiananmen uprising.[3][4]
