I made a Riichi Mahjong guide for beginners
The website is hosted at https://riichi.study
Hi everyone, we are a group of friends who play riichi together. We started from 3 players and people brought in their friends, friends of friends, etc. and now we have grown to about 12 players.
I have seen players improve from knowing nothing to being able to play comfortably. We teach new players mainly through rote learning or asking them to try out online clients. This process tends to be quite unstructured and impromptu, and we sometimes missed out on explaining certain stuff. Don't get me wrong, online clients (especially RC) have great tutorial. Unfortunately, they have gone quite gross and I can no longer recommend them.
Eventually, this became repetitive and I started this project to hopefully give our new players a better time learning the game without having to install anything.
The guide right now is a Work In Progress, only enough information for beginners to play a game, not so much about scoring or strategies. My plans for the future include basic strategies (most likely extracted from Riichi Book 1) for beginners who are looking to up their game.
I have just made the website open-source. I appreciate any feedback you have for the website under this Reddit thread or the issues page in the repository.
