Mahjong Kazoku — About this game
``Mahjong Kazoku'' is a disk system mahjong game in which players and computers play against each other with 30,000 points. There are four modes available: normal ``Southeast Mahjong'', ``One-shot Mahjong'' where you aim to win a winning role, ``Mahjong Sensei'' where you play while being taught the winning role, and ``Advanced Mahjong'' where you do not use tiles. For advanced players, you can set a time limit of about 12 seconds, and you can change the way you play according to your level of knowledge. Hansho has a short structure of four games, from East 1st to South 2nd, and with the exception of one-shot mahjong, the team with the most points wins to aim for three wins first. You can also select an open setting where you can see the tiles in your opponent's hand after reaching. While the game progresses with automatic score calculation, you can enjoy the game by making your own judgments about the picks, tiles struck, squeals, and reaches.
