About

Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. It was called, meaning sparrow in ancient China, which is still the name most commonly used in some southern Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Minnan, as well as in Japanese. However, most Mandarin-speaking Chinese now call the game m? ji?ng. Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck (depending on the variation played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in winning). In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand, depending on the variation being played. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw" by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus, a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles. Azumanga Daioh is an extremely hilarious comic about a group of schoolgirls. The unique humour of the comic and the success it brought originated an anime series, which itself originated this game we're discussing. The game is a combination of the popular comic Azumanga Daio and table top game "Donjara". The tiles are ready to use in battle with patterns of the characters faces. See polygon rendered deformed characters portray the happy action. Gameplay: this form of mahjong is fairly simple and meant as an more child-friendly version of the gambling game. Your goal is usually three-each of three designs or six of one and three of another. Game Modes: - Story Mode: 6 different characters (at the beginning of the game) to play her story and unlock his pictures in the album mode. - Free Play Mode: Choose a character and play a match. The game features an album mode in which there are lots of unlockable pictures.
