Richi Mahjong Parlour FOTS

The Richi Mahjong Parlour is a type of business chain building in Fall of the Samurai.

Description[]

The twittering of sparrows can be costly.

This hotbed of criminality and gambling improves happiness in the province. It also gives geishas a chance to practice their skills, and so adds experience to any recruited here.

Mahjong ("Sparrow Tiles" in the original Chinese) looks complicated, but is actually remarkably simple in principle, and ruthless in practice. Played with 136 ivory tiles, four players try to form matching groups of four tiles until "Mahjong" is called, gambling on the result as they do so. Based on an older Chinese card game, Ma-Taio, the Japanese embraced the game and made it a little more cutthroat. Richi Mahjong adds a winner-takes-all element that makes the game more of a race to victory. While gambling is now illegal in Japan, Richi Mahjong was once the perfect game for high-stakes excitement.

Clan Effects

  • -1 to modernisation (clan development)

Richi mahjong parlours further increase the happiness of a region and further increases wealth generation. Despite being more expensive and taking longer to build than gambling dens, richi mahjong parlours pay for themselves more quickly at just 27-31 turns (assuming default tax rate and depending on how essential the increase to happiness is) thanks to their much better wealth generation.

Each faction can upgrade one richi mahjong parlor to a yakuza office. Therefore, for most regions, richi mahjong parlors are the highest tier of traditional business building available.

All buildings in the business chain are considered civil buildings, and benefit from decreases in cost and construction time granted by certain events and missions. Taking advantage of such events can make large amounts of extra money in the long run.
