    I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!

      How did you learn to play Mahjong?

      I lost my money on the fights… and some on billiard. I just wanted to beat Erika.

        I learned it by looking up a guide on how to win at the Mahjong minigame in Yakuza 0. The guide existed. It was a crash course on how to play Riichi Mahjong.

        I also played a lot of Mahjong Soul after that. It’s a little easier to open a website than having to walk over to the Mahjong parlor every time, but a lot less atmospheric.

          That’s exactly it - those games just breathe atmosphere, and even the minigames add another layer to it.

          Sit down, drink up, then throw darts into the wall, cause you’ve had too much.

          perfect/10, will play every game of the series, and then Judgement.
