Riichi mahjong, up to your first win
From what a yaku is, through when to declare riichi, dora and furiten, and on to draws and defence — learned by tapping real tiles.
What to know about this ruleset
Why yaku and riichi matter
You learn why a yaku is required and when declaring riichi is worth it, in real situations.
Furiten and defence
The mistakes beginners make most — furiten and picking safe tiles — get their own lessons.
A feel for scoring
Worked examples show how fu and han turn into a final score.
Frequently asked questions
I do not know a single yaku.
The course introduces the most common ones first, so no prior knowledge is needed.
What is furiten?
A rule that stops you winning on a discard when you have already discarded a waiting tile. The course shows it in play.
Can I play straight afterwards?
Yes — you continue into an AI match or an online table with friends.
