>>49820931Not at all. There's many guides and how-to's out there, some that have even been posted here in /pcg/. I'll even post one right now just for you, Anon-san:
-The objective of Mahjong is to collect sets of tiles and create a winning hand by forming specific combinations.
-Mahjong is played with a set of 144 tiles, which include suit tiles, honor tiles, and bonus tiles. The suit tiles consist of three suits: dots, bamboo, and characters. The honor tiles include winds (north, east, south, west) and dragons (red, green, white). Bonus tiles may vary depending on the variation of Mahjong being played.
-The tiles are shuffled and arranged facedown in a wall formation. Each player takes turns rolling dice to determine the starting position of the wall. Then, the players take turns drawing and discarding tiles to create their hands.
-On their turn, a player can either draw a tile from the wall or claim a tile discarded by another player. When claiming a tile, the player must use it to complete a set (either a meld or a pair).
-Sets in Mahjong consist of three or four tiles that form a specific combination. There are three types of sets: Pongs (three identical tiles), Chows (three consecutive tiles of the same suit), and Kongs (four identical tiles).
-To win, a player must complete their hand by forming a combination of sets and a pair. The winning hand must meet specific criteria depending on the rules being played.
-Scoring in Mahjong varies depending on the rules and variations being played. Points are typically awarded based on the value of the sets collected and the winning hand.
