Basic theory dapat. Tapi teteup... klo ga dimainin mana tahu caranya ya?
Biasanya aku bisa lebih paham tentang permainan atau olahraga yang nggak umum kalau ada versi manganya, seperti Hikago untuk igo. Ada yg bisa rekomendasi manga tentang mah jong?

Great fun
Great fun. Easy to follow, understand, and learn from this book. Had a few of the basics down, then bought this book and my world expanded. Now Chinese Mah Jong is more fun than ever.
