Touhou Gensou Mahjong is good, but the pricetag is fucking criminal, it's pretty much a single player game that you pirate and have with the campaign
Demonic Mahjong on the other hand isn't really mahjong since it's a Balatro style game, but holy shit, it's the most addictive shit ever. I clocked in 90 hours in a single month to get all of the cheevos, and it's getting a new major free update pretty soon

There are many but they're almost all old arcade titles, untranslated PC98 games and some PC Engine/Sega Saturn ports. A few made it onto the 3DO but those are the generally the worst versions. There's a few interesting PS2 titles as well but they're buried in a sea of stock/featureless/flavorless mahjong titles that aren't really offering anything. Love*Mahjong! got a fan patch recently - the sequel is a much better game though...

For something a bit more recent : PS4 actually got an exclusive in Two Jong Cell! but you never hear about it because it was Japan exclusive and locked to PS4 Digital.
PS3 also has Mahjong Dream C Club. I do not know if either of these are actually "good" games but they do at least have effort invested in their production.

You could have an actual mechanic based on Awai's power. Basically having a reservoir of luck that fills up the girl's breasts. You basically just get mogging points and get to see bigger boobs if you don't use it.
But really just having tit size scale with performance + time in the match might work better.

Because it's a multiplayer game. Playing against bots in some kind of single player campaign story would be boring as hell. So obviously there's just clients to play the game on.
>>
>>740321510
Furiten is a state that simply means you can't call ron. You can still win by tsumo though. There are three cases that cause it:

If a tile you've previously discarded could complete your hand, even if it wouldn't be worth any yaku, you are in furiten. If you change your wait so that is no longer the case, you will no longer be in furiten.
If you pass on a discarded tile that could complete your hand (again, even if it wouldn't be worth yaku which means you're forced to pass on it), you are in furiten until your next draw.
If the previous case but you are in riichi, you are permanently in furiten for the rest of the hand.

The second type means the tile just discarded by the player before you is the safest tile you can ever discard because all three other players would be in furiten for it.

I've made it to adept 3 and stopped playing maybe 2 years ago. I just felt like I wasn't progressing any farther in my game.
The rare hands are so rare they are hard to memorize. By the end of my time playing I was either calling a dragon triplet and going for some kind of win or just sitting back waiting for ricchi.
I really never could understand what was a dangerous discard.
Yes, ive read the manual in the general OP and watched akagi like 3 times. Played maybe 100 games of jong but still it don't make sense.

Clients aren't supposed to teach you anything.

mahjong is a physical table game first and foremost, games need to offer more if they want players. You can't play CS with your friends on a table without hardware, so CS doesn't have to worry about competing with a physical game. Your comparison doesn't make sense

The client shouldn't be responsible to teach you how to play the game, just like the punching bag is not responsible for teaching you how to box.
If you want to learn advanced shit, you get someone who knows more than you to teach you the advanced shit.
Specially when each teacher approaches the advanced game's theory differently.
Having a game dictate a single approach is dumb. That's why the ones that include tutorials for beginners stop at the basics.

none of the people you're talking about "just play the fucking game"

poker players think about niche situations and crunch the math and game theory involved

boxers think about particular sequences, they game out their options and practice what they need to do when particular situations come up

none of these people just spar all day, or play hands all day. They PREPARE. They go back and find situations where they failed in the past and then they work on specifically those things and related concepts so that next time they don't make the same mistakes. Mindlessly queueing up games over and over and over is for losers who never get better

It isn't explained but you're supposed to reason backwards. If another player discarded a tile, and he riichis, you can discard that tile. The tile will even be grayed out by the UI. It's a general rule. That's how the rule looks from the perspective of the opponent. From that rule, you apply it to when you're the one trying to get a winning hand, it's furiten.
