I've spent the evening playing the (probably most horribly-translated and misinterpreted version of) mahjong. I'm not sure which version it was, but we had the standard suits, winds, and dragons. Flowers and seasons were included, but we left them out as they didn't do anything beyond add score for luck. Scoring was 2/4 for open/closed minor pung, 4/8 for open/closed major. Double that for a kong, bugger all for a chow, 20 for calling mahjong, slap on some doublers. I don't know if that's helpful or not for identifying the version we were playing, sorry! Mainly what struck me was the sense that I was missing something, strategy-wise. Like, don't discard what other people are waiting for if you can help it, and... that seemed to be about it for the strategy. Am I missing something, or is it that simple? The OP mentions Japanese rules for more strategy, but the guy who owns the set is still struggling to remember that a run can only be three long JESUS DUDE  , so I'm guessing trying to teach Yaku would be nightmarish.
