How it feels

A riichi mahjong game where players cheat and obstruct each other, blending traditional rules with party-game shenanigans.

What players say

Players enjoy the character writing and unique abilities, though they split on whether those abilities add fun or just chaos. It works well as a single-player riichi simulator, helped by a shanten counter for learners, but the AI is weak and there is no multiplayer.
