Pretty Little Lyres
Two questions:

- Does anyone have any actually intelligible rules for Mhing? I got my mom a deck of mahjong paper cards for Christmas, and while trying to figure out a 2-player Mahjong a lot of sites recommended Mhing as a better variant for two people. It just seems that a large number of the rules available online are written in pretty spotty English and really unclear, though I think I've finally tracked down on BoardGameGeek the score sheets that explain all the weird bonus hands: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1452/mhing

- I know they're not directly related, but is there much overlap between Mahjong enthusiasts and Hanafuda enthusiasts? I tried playing Hanafuda last night, and it seemed somewhat reminiscent, with the matching sets, and the "yaku" special sets and all. The typical hanafuda deck is kinda fat since they use mini-type cards, but for $8 on Amazon I got a Hawaiian deck, where the box and the cards are standard US poker sizes, which I find easier to handle. Pretty cool game if you like match-forming games.
