if you can convince (read: bully) some friends into playing with you, I've found that's the best--and most fun--way of learning

can definitely relate to feeling overwhelmed! the big thing for me rn is learning the different hands so I can begin playing *actually* strategically (read: not putting myself in furiten by discarding a tile at the beginning that I'll need later, which has happened more times than i'd care to admit)

to call riichi tho you have to have a closed hand (meaning you can't have previously called on another player's discards by calling chi, pon, ron, etc)

riichi is when you're one specific tile away from having a winning hand and you're betting on your win. when playing mahjong in ffxiv anyway the game goes on autopilot for the remainder of the game as you draw for that one specific tile.

sooooo as far as i understand chi and pon are rouuughly the same call in that you are using another player's discard to finish a set of yours. chi is taking the player to your left's discard to finish a set (eg 1-2-3), and pon is taking *any* players discard to finish a triplet set (eg 3-3-3)
