"Dice" is already plural. One die. "Alea iacta est," "The die is cast." (Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon on his way home to seize power. "To cross one's Rubicon" is to make a crucial decision. No, he's not called Caesar for seizing power. "Caesar" was originally pronounced kai-zar and still is in some languages. That's where you get a Russian or German Kaiser from. "People" is already plural. One person, two people. "People" is also a collective singular, as in "the Russian people." "The Chinese peoples" would mean the Han as one people, the Min as another, and so on across the different ethnic groups. The opposite of clock-wise is counter-clockwise, i.e. the direction that vectors rotate in in math. Arranging your tiles by suit in your own hand is stupid because it's giving everybody else information about what you hold. They can tell how many you have of each suit by the groups you make and they can tell what's in each group by watching where you discard from.
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.
Object of winning a hand is to assemble 4-sets of three (either of "straight of 3", or "3 of a kind"), plus a pair. In this dealt hand as show at 3:00, this player already has 2-sets of "straight of 3", plus 3-sets of pairs. Meaning....this player is looking for only 2-more different tiles to win, either a "south", "west", or "red dragon" to win. Having 2 of the 3 tiles would make this player complete his 3rd and 4th sets of three, plus he already has a pair, .....thus, he would win this hand.

So essentially, once I call a pong, those tiles are set aside and visible to all but they’re still part of my hand? I’m still mixed up with that. So if I already called pong for one combination, can I call pong a second time? Would those tiles have to be set aside?
I guess it worked. The music was distracting. Play something Chinese and soothing. Don't be in such a rush. People want to understand this simple yet complex game and will invest the time.
one of the best mahjong videos out there. thanks!
Pro tip: if you download the audio you'll have a great soundtrack for your next 70s porno
I LIKE THE MUSIC IN THE HOBICAFE ! ! ! MAHJONG......
This was helpful but you might want to slow down the subtitles a bit.
Thank you for this video, now I can buy a set and finally feel like a badass. just like all the Wise old asian grans and Rachel Chu
1:33 what is the function of the marker? Who decides to put "North, south, east & west" on the marker? Anyone, thanks.
its already pre decided when the game starts. where you sit depends direction marker. the dealer rotates throughout the game.
How do you keep score?
Thank you! First video that helped me
Why subtitles very fast..how can we learn..by The thanks.
Yeah, I don't get the end set. Subtitles didn't seem to match what was shown
Once you have a mix of Pong and Sheung equal to 4 and a pair of tiles, you have a mahjong. You then win the round.

Now, you will have to teach how the winnings are calculated.
1:53 count from the right*
Wow so last, how to learn?
I understood how to make the pairs but I didn't understand the winning partThe 胡 part

Is this Chinese Mah Jongg? I am trying to learn the game and don't want to get confused trying to learn watching several different styles?

No, this is Taiwanese Mahjong, as you are building the wall with 18, not 17, sets.
How many tiles
Nops 144

Yes
What size tiles.are these?

Je vais jouer ce jeu. Merci
I cant fogure this out 4 the life of me. Fkn hell
It's kind of like playing canasta with tiles, instead of cards...
And I thought shogi was complicated...
ryan perez : Once you play the game, it's not that hard to get used to. The problem comes from memorizing all the little exceptions and fan/yaku.
Lin Bin Same for Shogi really, I'm using this for a book so it shouldn't be too hard...
my grandma has this
Crazy Rich Asians brought me here!
i hate this comment but its so true
Ah same here
Watching this to watch akagi.
meanwhile I'm 140 chapters into the manga and just now started learning Mahjong
So if Trump played, he'd build his wall and make another player pay for it?
pay for it and build it
@@essa5248 Yeah, like he did with Mexico. Oh wait...
Yeah this still doesn't make any fucking sense.
