You said the first expansion is required right? I am learning it with a friend Sunday but have a big game day coming up next weekend, I might end up ordering the expansion ahead of time anyway

you can basically get 3 plays maximum out of the base set before you soft-solve it. took me 2.

escalation immensely increases the life of the base game, but the base game is better for learning.

What is your soft solution, cuz I played the vanilla set probably 20 times and did not find that to be the case

This book came out yesterday
, and I've been through it twice already. Four months ago when I learned Japanese Mahjong, it was much, much harder to find all the info to become intermediate-level. Now it's all in one place, and free.

(Chiba doesn't cover the rules. Go to http://osamuko.com/complete-beginners-guide-to-online-mahjong-part-1-how-to-play and http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html to learn how to play.)

[On Tenhou.net] games in the [second matchmaking tier] are more reasonable than those in the [first tier], but you still see many players who do not defend at all, do meaningless damaten / unreasonable riichi, and make serious mistakes in maximizing tile efficiency. In my impression, games at European Mahjong Association tournaments most resemble games in the [first and second tiers of matchmaking].
[…]
Games in [the third matchmaking tier] feel similar to those you'd experience at regular mahjong parlors in Japan.

Played The Gallerist at a meetup today, was good yo, much better than 2p version. I think Vital Lacerda's games that have majority-control markets (like Vinhos and The Gallerist) are in general better with 2, because that mechanic just becomes better with more players. In The GAllerist the columns are limited in a 2p game, but it's still less exciting than with 3.

If you took the average ameritrash board game and released it with an ad campaign on steam as a roguelike video game with unlocks it would be praised for its innovative, deep systems.
