Tile History - The <em>honours</em>

It’s time for the last tile history (more like Kanji history, right?) entry. We’ve the honours left: 三元牌 (Sangenpai), or the Dragons, and 風牌 (Kazehai), or the Winds. Important tiles, I’m sure you’ll agree with, but surprisingly hard to find solid information about. Also, I’ve

Mahjong tatcis, part 2

I didn’t make a mistake in spelling “tactics,” actually. No, this is a follow-up post on this post [https://osamuko.com/yea/], where some real useful information could be found. So, I found the forum where the original thread was posted, and to my delight saw that the original

Tile History - The man suit.

Today we take a look back to why the man or wan suite looks like it does. Or, to put it in another way - where do the numbers come from, and why do they look like they do? Right - where to start? At the top, obviously - and
