Defense Guide part 2: Kabe, Saki-giri, and Dama-ten

February 23rd, 2009 by UmaiKeiki

Here's another basic Mahjong strategy known as Kabe, plus Dama-ten and Saki-giri which you can use against slightly tougher opponents.

Yo, this is UmaiKeiki again. If you are reading this, it means I actually made more of my defense guide (a surprise, I know). This is a continuation of my previous post which you should probably read first. I apologize if this turns into another novel/tl;dr/wall of text/whatever.

UmaiKeiki’s defense guide — Betaori and Suji

February 18th, 2009 by UmaiKeiki

A guide to useful Riichi Mahjong strategy, such as discard reading and how to avoid dealing into hands.

What's up. This is UmaiKeiki, a Mahjong fan with a shorter attention span than that of a dog with ADD.

Some time ago I set out to write one of my Mahjong-addict buddies a guide to defense strategy. Once it was about half finished, something shiny caught my attention and the guide was long forgotten... One day Osamuko mentioned that she wanted to put something about Suji reading on here; I remembered that old guide and offered to revive it into blog form. This whole fetus is what I recovered off my old computer -- I make no guarantees that it doesn't suck horribly.

Brace for tl;dr!
