	Mahjong
		American Mahjong is a form of Mahjong standardized by the National Mah Jongg League and the American Mah-Jongg Association that has the greatest divergence from traditional Mahjong, with the introduction of Joker tiles, the Charleston, as well as melds of five or more tiles, and eschewing the Chow and the notion of a standard hand.
		American Mahjong may also referr to the Wright-Patterson rules, used in the US military, which is closer to traditional Mahjong.
		However, the various attempts had a common thread that the rules were to be based largely on the traditional rules, with the riichi rule from Japanese Mahjong, while completely eschewing the concepts of American Mahjong altogether.

		Under modern rules, that kind of hand may well aim for Thirteen Terminals, so it is not really a bad deal and shouldn't need to call for a re-deal.
		Accordingly, the rule in use in the Shanghai dynasty of games is that you are not allowed to ask for a redeal if you have 10 or more uniques.
		Mahjong is a game with 3 number suits, and there are about 10 times as many chows as there are pungs in the 136-tile set.

	Mah Jong Rules -- Gareth and Jane Saunders v.5.0
		One of the fascinating things about Mah Jong is how much it has developed over the years from the basic Chinese version to the number of variations we have today.
		Tom Sloper in his FAQs lists 23 - and there are probably many more localised variations with their own house or table rules.
		A good tool for learning different rule sets is to use a software version of Mah Jong.

		Explaining the rules in hokkien isn't tougher than i imagine and it feel damm weird.
		It was really interesting to see two "aunties" enjoying eurogames and employing concepts and strategies learn from their experience in tai dee and mahjong.
		Not that I don't like rules and regulations, but sometimes in such an orderly society such as Singapore, there should be a time where we should let ourself loose and play games, scream and shout animal noises, sit on the floor, relax one corner doodle and vandalise on the wall.

		The concept of "chows" (which are forbidden in some Chinese 3P rule systems) doesn't even apply to American, so it's helpful to know which kind of MJ you play.
		The Japanese 3P rules I learned decree that it's always the East wind, and there is no North wind (in fact, the North tiles are treated as flowers).
		Gaan, a mahjong celebrity (not just a celebrity who happens to play mahjong) in Hong Kong, also holds the same opinion against "3 faan" HKOS, which is very similar to the American "1 double" game.

		Although questions about their card and rules are welcome here, please read FAQ 16 and FAQ 19 to see if your question has already been answered.
		My group plays according to a Hot Wall rule; meaning if a player draws from the Hot Wall and then discards a tile (either the one she drew or one from her rack) and the tile is called for Mah Jong, then the discarder pays double and pays for the other two players also.
		Under that no-longer applicable rule, the claimant was not permitted to take the joker itself - she could only take the tile that actually had been named.

		Just to mention though, that Louis has reorganised his room, so that the dining table is now right next to the bed, ready to be pulled out for mahjong etc. and the couch is now nearer the kitchen.
		If it were not for the fact that I cannot entirely dismiss the Economist's assertion that this is, regardless, a form of casus belli, it does not expunge the problem that Israel has a lot less to worry about than the muslim world put together from a conflict between the two.
		It might be a joke to some that the Jews rule the world, but it would be a very poor joke to say that Muslims do the same.

		Perhaps saying that your friend expects a debator to have an ideological commitment to freedom of speech is a stretch, for I wager he expects a debator to at least respect the idea of free speech, even if he doesn't have an ideological commitment to it.
		If freedom of speech weren't a pre-requisite for debate, then it would be possible to knock down opponents not by refuting their points sensibly, but by saying that points were "immoral", "ridiculous", "racist" or the like, and making them untenable for scoring purposes.
		It just goes to show that in modern Singaporean society, where discrimination based on someone's race, religion, language and gender are all politically incorrect, it's still acceptable to harbour unreasoning prejudices against those with sexual identities or orientations judged deviant.

		Not only should scoring be done via the game itself for doing the right moves but also there could be scoring for the style in which it was done.
		With the popularity of arcade and console gaming this is done all over the world and would give people who were dance oriented an event…that or the otaku a change to shine on the international level.
		I like the new scoring system in that it is far less arbitrary and prone to abuse (thanks France and Russia).

		After an almost-entire night of mahjong, a mad doctor dragged everyone out to see the sunrise at the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
		There was a bar and restaurant called Red Dot, which was kinda funny because Singapore is always referred to as a "little red dot" (which it is on the world map), but it's not run by a Singaporean.

		The scores by and large reflect his comments and we were especially happy to see some of our personal favorites: Foggo, Greenock Creek, Two Hands scoring so consistently well.
		Highlights were the cover dressing Smoked Salmon Consommé (above obvs), the shiitake custard (Michelle's fav), the succulent freshwater crayfish, the elegant champagne parfait and the superb bitter orange soufflé.

		Love begins and love ends, however as nonchalant and cool you claim to be, are no exception to the rule.
		The game ends when all the tiles have been used and one player had laid down all his or her tiles, or nobody can think of new words to place on the board.
		Finding sets of 3 identical tiles or runs of 3 tiles is not difficult, but at professional level you need to know how to analyse and predict what tiles your opponents are expecting.

		I am not the type to promise to rule different for different people, but if you do the right thing please know I won't forget it.
