Thanks! You are correct, the one on the right is my 30mm green YMI set. The new one (at least if my research is correct) is a color variation of Matsuoka's Tenwa set

And other places too, see if there's a local club in your area!

(Shameless plug for our Philly club)

Thanks I didn't know about this video series, very interesting! Now that I think about it Riichi Book 1 also mentions a rule of having optimally no more than 2 pairs, and even without any, that there's no need to worry too much about securing a pair.

Apparently favoring the shuntsu over the pair is so obvious that in the below example Chiba doesn't even consider discarding the 5pin holy shit...

The player across from them hasn’t thrown a single character tile, they could be on a half flush, full flush, pure flush, who knows. They haven’t called riichi, but they are against three open hands so maybe they’re in damaten.

The player to the right hasn’t thrown anything above 2m. They could have the red dragons and be going for a half flush too and have a dora. That’s 5 han, could be a mangan, especially if you add the extra mini points you get from a kan.

The 6m is adjacent to the new Dora, either player could have a 7778. Now it might be 8 han.

The player has a two han hand and it’s not worth pushing for and risking dealing in to some hidden monster hand. All the 9s’s are gone, they can see all the 8s’s, there’s only one live 7s. And even if they do deal in with the 8s it’s not going to be into a flush hand of some sort, maybe 2 or three han?
