- Mahjong beginners and players comparing regional rules
- Worth noticing
- The guide distinguishes 136-, 144-, and 152-tile setups and names different minimum-hand rules across styles.
Field notes
The reference is divided into linked sections for basics, Chinese styles, Japanese and Western play, scoring, strategy, and further reference material. Its examples preserve useful distinctions: the page describes 16-tile Taiwanese hands, riichi furiten and dora, and American mahjong’s card-defined hands; its own count of covered styles is inconsistent across the extracted copy.
