ahjong is basically like Poker in a lot of regards. You MUST have a valid 'hand' to win.

What differentiates a beginner from an expert is the following:

1) Knowledge of all the hands, this is pure memorization and nothing else... the more you remember the more options you can 'go' for.

2) Ability to read discards... This is why mahjong is a game of skill and not luck, even though luck is factored in it is a tiny factor. Mahjong is a 'game of discards'. Experts are able to tell within 4 or 5 discards exactly what you're going for as there are ONLY 74 tiles in the pool. Once 20 tiles have been discarded in total, the picture becomes pretty clear if you're an expert.

3) Like poker, you need a poker face to go with #2 and the ability to bluff.

#1 takes very little effort... just commit the hands to memory. #2 and #3 can take an entire lifetime depending on how gifted you are with this sort of thing.

Does this bitch-slap game remind anyone else of Umineko?

You play as a Natsuhi lookalike who just married into a rich family and must beat the shit out of a bitchy Eva lookalike and some other annoying in-laws who refuse to accept her as part of the family.

This is the sequel, where you play as Eva and try to take revenge on Natsuhi:
