As for the European riichi championship in 2008: what they have up at <A HREF="http://eng.riichi.nl/" REL="nofollow">this site</A> does not make it clear whether it will be kuitan ari or kuitan nashi. (One of the links on the rules page is to a kuitan nashi rulesheet, and another link on the same page is to an explanation of mahjong that specifies kuitan ari.)<BR/><BR/>By the way, I still can't

You might want to see some of the sets at the Mahjong Museum (<A HREF="http://www.mahjongmuseum.com" REL="nofollow">www.mahjongmuseum.com</A>), notably <A HREF="http://www.mahjongmuseum.com/mj265.htm" REL="nofollow">the OXI mahjong set</A> and <A HREF="http://www.mahjongmuseum.com/mj291.htm" REL="nofollow">"electrical mahjong"</A>.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I can't log in to my account at Yakitori

I managed to buy a set for my parents with arabic numbers in the corners. The thing is I think half my family are just too old to have to deal with strange symbols along with learning Mahjong at the same time. Plus, their eyesight isn't good enough to count the numbers on the bamboo tiles anyway. So the addition of numbers on those tiles would be great too, in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>I'd find it

And if you are so lazy or ethnocentric that you are unwilling to learn such basic things as simple shapes drawn on tiles, I think, you are not fit to play an exotic game.

I see two reasons :<BR/><BR/>1) It's not too much asking beginners to learn very basic numerals. It's completely different thing than asking them to distinguish "isshou sanjun" from "ishou suushun".<BR/><BR/>2) A vendor can only sell what's available. There is no Arabic numerals's set made.

I read in an earlier post about how you don't want players confused with too much Japanese terminology. That being the case, why not sell mahjong sets with Arabic numerals on the character tiles?<BR/><BR/>I think it would be a good idea to make a set with Arabic numerals <I>in place of</I> the Chinese numerals, rather than in addition to them.
