When i meant you can learn it on one day, it means you can do all the things that top players do. The rules are very easy to remember. Normally people will tell you the rules or what kind of rules that they want to play before the game start, since different regions have different rule. Chinese mahjong won't have dora, but still play the same. mahjong is all about Luck, math, probability, and very little strategy. If you have bad starting hand and bad draw, there is nothing you can do. You are forced to play what you have with highest probability of winning or play not lose. Think play with Koromo(bad draw) and Awai(bad starting hand) in the same table. It's nothing like Go. Go is all about strategy, strategy, and strategy. You won't learn anything from Saki because they are not playing real mahjong. Ok, but more like everybody is a cheater in Saki. kan or Kong is a horrible play when you are winning because you can make other players' hands very big with dora. Saki doesn't give a damn, she will still kan. |

huh... I was just assuming this was going to be a 2-cour season. I only just noticed a new episode wasn't being queued up at CR and then found it was missing from Ani-Chart.
...so the last episode went a week into the next season and ended with a whimper. And no news about OVAs or a return.... sure, it wasn't nearly as fresh as it used to be.... and honestly didn't look like it was heading into any better material. But it's SAKI! I figured it'd be going forward no matter what. |

If anyone here wants to learn the game, enjoy:
http://arcturus.su/wiki/Main_Page Personally, I've watched Season 1 without knowing a thing about the game. However, when I learned the game, then watching the series proved to be even much more enjoyable. That's because you end up learning the true meaning to "tanoshii".
Japanese rules allow the element of strategy via discard reading, which enables players to utilize defensive play. In this case, players do their best to minimize point losses, rather than point gains, for that opportunity to strike with just one hand (or more if possible). But yea, I've hand entire games, let alone entire hands, by which I wasn't able to do anything as far as point generation. That is what separates card games than board games. If you wish to play me, then you can easily find me here: http://tenhou.net/0/?L7447
Of course not. The entirety of the Sakiverse is fiction. It's just like thinking that anime overall is representative of Japanese culture. Even so, the entire Saki franchise is based on the personification of different mahjong styles, yaku, tendencies, and emotions. If you encapsulate these various mahjong concepts and personify them in characters, then you have yourself a story. Then put in the element of high school, girls, and a tournament - then you have a money making seller. |

I'm going to give about 1.5 to 2 years for the next series. The manga (that I don't read) is currently at what -- midway through the B semifinal, right in the middle of the 3rd match.
