World Riichi Championship
When I was asked to write about the WRC 2014 rules, I knew someone would be in for it. I don’t envy the people in charge of setting largely arbitrary rules. A lot of the time it’s a choice between A and B, each with their own pros
If you’re a follower of our humble blog, you’d know that the Osamuko community has a solid and active European contingent, who frequently get together on the EMA tournament circuit. Indeed we’ve collected a rather respectable array of tournament wins and rankings, that I’ve often thought
Mahjong League
Hi guys, this is a small report on the first week of the mahjong league. Over the course of our first week, we’ve logged over 100 unique IDs in games, and by the time I’ve finished writing this, over 200 matches will have been played in this week

Entertainment
Going to unhide all the Flavor of the Month posts, but still gonna tag the title just in case you only want to know about mahjongs and nothing else. I’ve been meaning to write about this awesome game for some time but kept putting it off, partly because I
interviews
This is a looooooooong overdue update. We decided to get an interview with Mr Jonas Alm, the CEO of MahjongLogic a several months back when it was the Next Big Thing and no one knew what exactly they would unleash upon us. To enjoy this article in its entirety please
This is pretty cool so I’m breaking radio silence to post it. Anonymous delivers again with a userscript to display a mahjong tile font using UTF-8 on /jp/ (or your site of choice, should you choose to enable it elsewhere). This should herald a golden age of in-depth mahjong
