Straits Mahjong

Read full description

Mahjong, beautifully made: four great tables, more than 140 lessons and a lamplit 3D table. Whether you have never held a tile or you count tai in your sleep, there is a seat for you. Singapore Mahjong and Gwai Lou solitaire are free to play in full. Hong Kong, 3 Kaki and Riichi are free to try, then yours with a one-time unlock. Five Ways To Play • Singapore Mahjong: tai, flowers, animals and Bao, played the Straits way. • Hong Kong Old Style: faan, not tai. Bigger hands, and the discarder pays it all. • Malaysian 3 Kaki: three players, one suit and four Fly jokers. • Japanese Riichi: yaku, dora, riichi sticks, furiten and full hanchan scoring. • Gwai Lou Mode: tile-matching solitaire, just for fun, with a new Daily Board every day. Every table has its own rules, its own scoring and its own orchestral theme. Learn It Properly • 33 Singapore lessons in six chapters, from your first tile to Bao and payments. Each one runs Observe, Try It Yourself, then Explain, with a fresh example whenever you want one. • Learn any table from zero: full courses for Riichi, Hong Kong and 3 Kaki, each with First Steps, a Guided Hand and practice, or a short What's Different path if you already play Singapore. • Practice from real hands: What Would You Discard?, Read The Discards, Push Or Fold and Count This Hand. • Not sure where to start? Five quick questions suggest your first lesson. • Mahjong Terms: a searchable glossary, with the other names players use. A Coach At The Table • Start with a Guided Hand, move on to a Scored Hand, then play a full match against computer players. • Hint and the Hand Guide explain your options while the game waits. The guide's pick shows in gold, and its advice uses only your tiles and what everyone can see. • No clock and no rush in solo play: take as long as you like. Play With Friends Host a private table and share its link. Only the host needs Host A Table or Complete; friends join free from the app or straitsmahjong.com, and computer players fill empty seats. An internet connection is needed. Scoring, Made Clear • Score Details shows every tai, the tiles that earned it and exactly who pays whom. • Compare The Tables scores one hand by Singapore, Hong Kong and 3 Kaki rules, side by side. • House Rules set the tai minimum and limit, Shooter Pays and more. A Table Worth Sitting At • A real 3D table with a walnut rail and lamplit felt, in portrait or landscape. • Seven tile sets, from Imperial Jade and Peranakan Rose to Zodiac Pixels. • English, 中文, Bahasa Melayu and தமிழ். Every table speaks its own words too: Zi Mo and Qing Yi Se in Singapore, Sik Wu and faan in Hong Kong, Fei in 3 Kaki. • An orchestral theme for every game, with music and sound effects you can switch on or off. • Larger text and calmer motion whenever you want them. At The Movies Mahjong's most famous film scene, replayed tile by tile on our own table: who wanted what, what that discard really meant, and every tai counted. Free To Start • Singapore Mahjong and Gwai Lou Mode: free to play in full, with every Singapore lesson. • Hong Kong, 3 Kaki and Riichi: free to try. Each table's beginner lessons and first game are on the house, and you can watch an ad for one more game. Then unlock the table once, and it's yours. • Complete unlocks every table and hosting, and turns off ads, in one purchase. • Ads appear only at natural breaks, such as after a hand, a lesson or a solitaire board, and never in the middle of a hand. Remove Ads turns them off. • Pay once and keep it: no subscriptions. Yours, On Your Device There is no account to make, and solo play works offline. Your learning progress and solo saves stay on your device; export a save to back them up or move them. Restore Purchases brings back what you have bought. All points are for play only: no real money, betting or prizes. Mahjong tables have many house rules; the lessons say which ones each table uses.
