followed "TwoFour" player. He collected bamboos when was
throwing in majority characters, this way gave the needed tile

Comment: A very good game, however not the kind of that results in many points from big combinations. This game matched three very experienced players and the winner had a lucky break, because two of them declared "Ready" and just one tile was on a step of tiles. And it's amazing that the bonus for dora is 7 hans, WOW!! A very interesting game, bettysun43
