Japanese Mahjong, also known as Lizhi Mahjong, is deeply loved by players for its complex rules and strategy. For beginners, the most commonly asked question is "How can Japanese Mahjong be stupid?" Actually,Japanese Mahjong HuThe conditions are stricter than those of China mahjong. Not only do they need to form a specific card type, but they must also meet the requirements of "service". This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the Hupai rules, common types of services and practical skills of Japanese Mahjong to help you quickly master the essence.

1. Basic conditions for Japanese Mahjong Hu

In Japanese Mahjong, Hu cards (and Le) need to meet two basic conditions: complete card type and at least one "service". The card type is usually 4 sets of faces (straight or carved pieces) and 1 pair of sparrow heads, or special card types such as seven pairs, matchless, etc. But even if the card type is complete, if there is no service, you cannot play it recklessly. This is one of the biggest differences between Japanese mahjong and other mahjong.

1. card composition

The standard Hu card type is: 4 sets of face + 1 set of sparrow head. Face can be a straight (such as 1.23 million) or a cut (such as three east winds), while sparrow head is a pair of identical cards. In addition, seven pairs (7 pairs) and unparalleled national talents (one card for each of the 13 types of 19 cards plus any card) are also allowed Hu card types.

2. There must be service

"Servi" is a fan of Japanese mahjong, which is equivalent to the "fan" of China mahjong. You can't play tricks without service. This is the most easily overlooked point for novices. Common simple battles include: breaking the 19, service cards (self-wind, field style, three-yuan card), standing straight, clearing the door and feeling peace, etc. Understanding these basics is the key to getting started.

2. Detailed explanation of common types of services

Mastering some common types of service can allow you to quickly judge whether you can play tricks in actual combat. The following are some of the most basic services:

  • Riichi: Listen to the cards while the front door is clear, pay 1000 points to declare the stand straight, and add an extra time after the cards are played. Rizhi is the most commonly used game in Japanese mahjong and is also the clarion call for attack.
  • Duan Yaojiu: When Hu is playing cards, there are no nineteenth-one cards (1 and 9) and character cards in the hand, and all cards are composed of numbers from 2 to 8. It is simple and easy to do, but you need to be careful not to eat or touch it, otherwise it may not be considered a door-to-door clearing.
  • service card: Including the carvings of the Zifeng card (such as the East Home touching the east wind), the Field Wind card (such as the East Market touching the east wind) and the Three Yuan card (white hair in the middle). Each type of service card can be superimposed if you calculate it.
  • Clear oneself in front of the door: Touch your own cards while clearing the door and do the calculations. No additional operations are required for this operation, as long as the door is kept clear.
  • peaceful: Consisting of 4 sets of straight straight. Sparrow heads cannot be service cards, and cards must be played on both sides (e.g. 23 listens to 14). Peace requires clearing the door, and calculating it when playing cards.

In addition to these basic services, there are also more advanced services such as mixed color, uniform color, pairing and matching, and three colors, which can be gradually learned with the accumulation of experience.

3. Calculation of points for Japanese Mahjong Hu

After playing a game, points need to be calculated, and the points are determined by the number of plays and the number of symbols. The higher the number of characters, the higher the number of symbols, and the higher the point. For novices, you can first master simple calculation methods:

  1. Calculate the number of times according to the type of service. Each service has a corresponding number of times, which can be accumulated.
  2. The calculation of the symbol number is relatively complex, usually 20 to 40 symbols, and the symbol number can be ignored above the slam (more than 5 digits).
  3. Use a point table or formula to calculate the final points, or use a mobile app directly to assist in the calculation.

In actual combat, many players will use the "Points Quick Check Table" to quickly determine points. It is recommended that novices also prepare one.

4. Practical skills and strategies

After understanding the rules, how to improve the poker rate in actual combat? Here are some practical tips:

1. Keep the door clear and stand straight first

门前清状态下可以立直，立直不仅能增加一番，还能给对手压力。除非有更好的役或需要吃碰来加速，否则尽量保持门前清。

2. 注意防守，避免放炮

In Japanese Mahjong, you need to pay all points to shoot shots (firing shots), so defense is very important. When your opponent stands upright or obviously plays a big card, you should be cautious in playing the danger card and give priority to playing the safety card.

3. 合理利用副露

Secondary exposure (eating, touching, and clearing) can speed up card formation, but it will destroy the clear door and lose the opportunity to stand upright and some of the battle. The pros and cons need to be weighed based on the hand and the situation.

4. Observe the river of cards and speculate on opponents

By observing the cards played by your opponent, you can speculate on the range of cards in your hand and possible types of play, thereby adjusting your strategy.
