    well, I think if he went into yaku, closed/open hands, and the prevailing/personal wind the video would be more comprehensive, but also 3 hours long

    I just learned to play Mahjong from a friend today and it was so fun! We struggled with the setup mechanics so this was super helpful! Btw, I've heard some sets (or at least my friend's 😅) may not come with flower tiles. Is that unusual? Does that change the setup mechanic or any other aspect of the game? Thanks in advance! 🙏🏾
