Tips for New Players:
Not familiar with riichi mahjong? No worries! Here are some starter tips to help you hit the ground running during the Spring Festival event:
-
Understand the Basics
Mahjong Soul is a four-player game where the goal is to complete a winning hand by drawing or claiming tiles to match sets (like triples of the same number). You win by shouting “Ron!” or “Tsumo!” when your hand is complete. A helpful in-game tutorial can guide you through the rules. -
Use the Character Abilities
Each character in Mahjong Soul has a unique personality and voice acting, but during competitive matches, they’re mostly cosmetic. Pick a character that appeals to your playstyle to make the game more enjoyable. -
Build a Balanced Hand
Avoid focusing too hard on rare yaku (winning hands) when starting out. A solid understanding of simpler combinations can go a long way, especially in the beginning. -
Speed or Points? Adapt to the Situation
Some games reward quick wins, while others demand high-value hands. Pay attention to your opponents’ discards, and consider balancing risk with reward based on the table’s flow.
The Spring Festival update is live now, and the limited-time items won’t stick around forever. Channel your inner strategist, collect exclusive content, and get into the spirit of the season with Mahjong Soul!
