🀄 The Riichi Mahjong Times - Insights from the Tiles!
Welcome! Whether you're deeply into Riichi Mahjong or just getting curious, you’ve come to the right place.
I created The Riichi Mahjong Times to solve a simple problem: information about our game is scattered across Facebook groups, Discord servers, and tournament pages. I wanted one place where stories, results, and people come together.
Behind EMA rankings and nicknames are real players with real journeys — and this newsletter is here to tell those stories. You'll find tournament photos, videos, and interviews, all in one place. My goal is to bring the Riichi Mahjong community closer together.
👋 Who am I?
I'm Anastasiia Veremenko.
I’ve been playing Riichi Mahjong since 2019 — competing, learning, and sharing the joy of the game wherever I can. Outside tournaments, I spend time analyzing games, exploring strategies, and chatting with fellow players.
