Yeah, there is a beta and an alpha mahjong rn... With most riichi matches ending by a kick I feel like you almost need friends to even finish a match... Or even people who don't wuit that much...

Game has 100 tokens, 19 of each color and 5 jokers. Since 3 are left: 19-3=16

The usual tie breaker is least tokens left (normal goal) then least tokens of your color on your side. The number should be the highest to win a tiebreak bc the tiebreaker score is tokens of your color taken by all your OPPONENTS, not just the tied one.

Why would you want to autostart a realtime game if the other player is offline tbh... That can be a source of penalties. I understand turn based but... I think sometimes I cancelled search but I still got a match actually.

I seem to have to choose mode, time and then who to play with before I can access the settings.

Once you select training mode, you don't need to choose time limits actually.
