Honestly, a super awesome beginner-friendly way to learning Riichi Mahjong. I wanted to learn how to play because I've been checking out the original famicom releases from 1983 and a mahjong game is one of them! I didn't want the cartridge just gathering dust on my shelf, so I asked a friend to help me learn how to play, and voila, wouldn't you know, he sends me to Mahjong Soul, and I couldn't be happier! Because of this website, I officially understand how to (shittily) play a game of Riichi Mahjong!
I'm someone who is super not into gacha or throwing anime girls into stuff randomly either, so the idea of Mahjong Soul initially didn't interest me too much, but honestly the way its all handled is marvelous! I truly expected it to be more intrusive with its gacha aspect, but ignoring it doesn't hinder the game at all for me. The girls can be a little annoying if I'm being super picky (nyaa~), but honestly they're fine characters, and they don't demand much attention. All together, Mahjong Soul is a really great way to learn, practice, and battle your friends in Riichi Mahjong!! It helps me understand the rules and what I can/can't do amazingly! Now I can't wait to kick some 1983 Famicom AI ass.
4/5

East 1 Repeat 3. audience stares at me in anticipation. the player to my west has shot himself in the head. player to my north disconnected to have sex. player to my east has an emoji macro off cooldown. he discards a 7-pin.
"Ron"
my greasy hands flip my tiles down to reveal my single wait riichi bet, value of 1 han. pants full of shit from anxiety, I stand up and face the crowd.
"Mahjong SOUL!"

The main reason I gained interest into Mahjong was because of the anime Akagi (which is amazing and you should go watch it)
Fun way to play Mahjong online. I'm not gonna explain how to play here but it's kind of like poker in a way but with multiple ways to build a "hand". Just playing through this game is how I learned to play Mahjong. Probably can't play in person too well since I'm used to the digital game blocking illegal moves.
Also I do enjoy the anime girl aesthetic a bit. Keeps the game cute looking and it's fun to spam high pitch sounds while someone is making a turn. Also really fun to have the Iwao Akagi collab character since he's an old ass motherfucker playing with cute anime girls. Here's hoping to a Kaiji collab or at least bringing back the Akagi collab so I can get the Akagi character

As an introduction to mahjong it's great! Very beginner friendly and it's made me want to play mahjong seriously and git gud.
As a gacha? You can only roll for cosmetics which is fine but like.. there's basically no sensible way to get free gems. And I've yet to find a story mode lol, but I think that's on me.

fun game, easy for me to pick up after putting down for a while. ive never played mahjong before this and i think the anime girls and bishoujens are. uh. Something? not really my thing. i appreciate that the game is less focused on gacha, though i wish it were easier to get new characters in general. i would love to get the dog guy but i will never spend money on a gacha.
that said, great game for teaching you mahjong & it lacks text chat so you won't get yelled at except maybe with reacts. i think it's better that way
can we get more furries, also? like just animal people? come on
