How it plays

How does Janshirou (Japan) play?

Play riichi mahjong hands against the available opponents, select tiles and commands from the table menu, and work toward winning hands while managing the score. The handheld format focuses on tile selection, hand building, and the rules presented by the current match rather than on action controls.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Janshirou (Japan)?

Learn the scoring and yaku before chasing a difficult hand, keep the tiles that improve several possible shapes, and avoid calling too early when a concealed hand gives better options. Check the table rules in the Japanese menus because the exact match settings determine the value of a win or draw.
