What is Riichi Mahjong?

Riichi Mahjong is a popular Japanese variant of the traditional Chinese game of Mahjong. Players aim to form a winning hand by creating sets and pairs from 13 tiles, drawing and discarding tiles in turns.

The unique aspect of Riichi Mahjong is the "riichi" declaration, where a player declares they are one tile away from winning - adding an extra layer of strategy and risk. The game also incorporates a scoring system that rewards players for achieving specific combinations and conditions.

Known for its dynamic gameplay and rich cultural heritage, Riichi Mahjong is a beloved pastime for players around the world.
