Someone told me that Shoji was similar to chess and I got excited because I'm fairly decent at chess. I can see the similarities between the two, but for some reason I can't grasp Shoji.

Yeah similar, but the fact that captured pieces can be used by the capturer adds a super depth to the play. It's also "shogi".

tbh I never really tried to learn that hard, but that one substory in Kiwami 2 really showed it. Good thing the cheat item for mahjong is an instawin.

You are correct. I was trying to spell it from memory and messed that up. I appreciate the correction!

Your guides have gotten me through bits of a few games, so it's like we've been playing together the whole time!

I never understood mahjong either. Is it like poker, but with blocks?

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Mahjong Soul.

Its a solid platform where you play against other actual people based on skill level (or bots if you want that instead). Just ignore the anime waifu gotcha aspect, its only for cosmetics

Kinda like a mix of poker and rummy

Mahjong is more like rummy. I made a video on it if you don't like reading.

dear god I was so glad I used that piece. I was freaking out because I don't know how to play and I've tried but never got the grasp. I avoid that game so much in the Yakuza games.

I downloaded a mahjong app to learn. Yakuza doesnt do a great job at teaching the game.

Does Like a Dragon have pool and bowling? Mahjong and Shogi intrigue me, but those are the minigames that held my attention in 0.

shogi in original yak 2 was brutal. used an ai program that calculated moves to cheat and the yak 2 ai gave it a really good fight.

Bowling and pool have been out since the Dragon Engine was introduced in Yakuza 6. I believe they were cited as too easy and too hard, respectively. Baccarat, roulette, cho-han, and cee-lo have also been casualties.

They changed the way darts work too and I miss the floating hand tbh.

It's a type of alcohol that is like rum, but isn't. So, rummy.

I play real life Mahjong, but I just can't do the Yakuza versions. They use Japanese scoring system which is much more complicate and weird than the Canton system which is straight forward.

The new "Try not to fall asleep while watching cult classic movies" minigame in LAD might be the weirdest concept in the Yakuza series, even including all the weird sexy shit that felt out of place for Kiryu.

Is this a problem in Japan?
