	Hello and welcome 友達 to the Tomodachi's Mahjong部 resource page!

Who we are:
	We're a group of friends who've informally made a LINE/skype group to play mahjong! Feel free to invite people to the group as long as we know them IRL and are cool tomodachi.

What this is:
	This is a small resource page / guide to get into Japanese mahjong. We will be building this over time.

Try the single player games first.

Playing without knowing what you do is not only frustrating for yourself but also for your opponents, a player that left because he couldn't ron for his no Yaku hand or because someone ron'd his discard just kills the whole fun for everyone.

Usually, a game lasts around 30 minutes, so please, if you're not going to stay until the end, respect the other players and don't join a new game.

Also keep in mind that Mahjong is more a game of "not losing" than straightforward winning.
Furthermore you play with 3 other people and luck plays a big part in it, so don't expect to win more than 1 out 4 games, especially not as a beginner.

If you read some of the linked sites and still have questions feel free to ask.
