Majsoul (aka Mahjong Soul, Jantama) is a Japanese mahjong game platform developed by CATFOOD STUDIO and distributed by Yostar. The game has some resemblance to Janryumon, in terms of graphics. The tile layout and graphical hands, as in "physical" hands, are displayed during game play.

Notes:

  • Players will not be downgraded in Novice rank, but will still lose upgrading points.

Celestial Ranking

In Celestial, a special ranking system is applied. Players are ranked by a numerical level, as well as using a different way to calculate ranking points.

Each level starts with 10 Soul Points, and requires 20 to upgrade. Losing all the points will lead to a downgrade. The rank no longer persist forever as before; instead, players will be downgraded to Saint III if losing all the soul points in Celestial Lv. 1.

The gain or lost of Soul Points is only determined by rank, regardless of end score, listed in the following table. In addition, when all the players are Celestial in a single match, the soul-point changing is doubled.

Soul Points
4P 3P
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 1st 2nd 3rd
Rank East +0.3 +0.1 -0.1 -0.3 +0.3 ±0 -0.3

End-Score Not applied

Calculations

Calculation of End-Score Points

  • Oka Points: Not applied
  • Uma Points:
    • 4P: 1st +15, 2nd +5, 3rd -5, 4th -15
    • 3P: 1st +15, 2nd ±0, 3rd -15
  • Starting Points: 4P 25000; 3P 35000

Formula: EndScore = (MatchResult - StartingPts) / 1000 + UmaPts

Calculation of Rank Points

Formula: PtsGain = EndScore + RankPts

The result is always rounded up to an integer. (e.g. +68.2 → +69, -1.9 → -1)

Rank Points

Calculation of Copper Coins

 
An example of Copper-coin's calculation

The calculation of copper coins is a bit complex.

The Entry Fee is always applied as long as a match is taken successfully, although it's not shown in the final result.

For the Gain/Lost of match, the whole procedure is listed as follows:

  1. Calculate End Score based on final point results.
  2. Calculate Copper-coin lost for negative End Scores based on the exchange rate. The lost is always capped to a maximum lost (MaximumLost = EntryLimit - EntryFee) if exceeded the limit (EndScore < -40).
    Room Entry Limit / Entry Fee Maximum Lost Exchange Rate
    Bronze Room 0 / 0 - -
    Silver Room East
    South    		 2500 / 500
    3500 / 700    		 2000
    2800    		 50
    70
    Gold Room East
    South    		 5000 / 1000
    7000 / 1400    		 4000
    5600    		 100
    140
    Jade Room East
    South    		 10000 / 2000
    14000 / 2800    		 8000
    11200    		 200
    280
    Throne Room East
    South    		 10000 / 2000
    14000 / 2800    		 8000
    11200    		 200
    280

    Formula: CoinsLost = EndScore<-40 ? MaximumLost : EndScore*ExchangeRate

  3. Sum up the total lost.
  4. Distribute the coins proportionally to other players based on End Score.

    Formula: CoinsGain = Sum(CoinsLosts) * EndScore / Sum(PositiveEndScores)

Characters

Main article: List of Mahjong Soul characters

Currently there are 60 characters in game, including 41 females and 19 males. Every new user is granted access to Ichihime and Miki Nikaidou. Additional characters must be summoned via the gacha system, with Jade as currency or with the Summon Scroll item. Jade can only be acquired via monetary purchase, while Summon Scrolls may be obtained via events, system mail as gifts, or purchase in the item shop.

A number of the characters remain in the mainline group for Mahjong Soul. These are readily available throughout the year via gacha. In addition, limited edition characters are/were temporarily available via collaborations with some anime series.

Bond System

Each character has a unique Bond Value. The value can be enhanced by gaming or gifting to unlock corresponding vocals and story plots. At the maximum affection level, all voice lines will be unlocked, and the character will read out yakus after winning a hand. Characters can be entangled to unlock new appearance as a skin that can be chosen, accompanying with 3 extra emotes.

Bonding Stage
Level Upgrading Total Required Notable Rewards
❤ 2000 2000 * First-place voice
❤❤ 6000 8000
❤❤❤ 10000 18000
❤❤❤❤ 20000 38000 * Story rewards [note 2]
❤❤❤❤❤ 50000 88000 * Story rewards [note 2]
* Yaku spelling
💛💛💛💛💛 Bond with required resources * Story rewards [note 2]
* Bonded skin
* Extra emotes x3
* SP voice

Bond values can be acquired as follows:

  • Completing a match in Silver Room or higher:
    • 4P East +40, 4P South +60; 3P East +25, 3P South +40.
    • Extra bond-value enhancement is applied according to the charge amount. (See Charge-related Titles section)
  • Gifting directly:
    • Green Presents +200, Blue +1000, Purple +5000.
    • An enhancement of 50% extra bond-values is applied, if the gift type matches character's interest [note 3].

If playing with a max-bond character, the bond values will be tracked such that every 1000 points grants a "bond gift". Similarly to other blue gifts, this can be given to another character to increase 1000 points of bond value, and also can be donated for 5 dusts.

Gifts

Gifts can be given to a character to increase your bond with that character (see Bond System section), or turned into star dusts if they can be donated. 50 star dusts can be used at the lucky cat to attempt getting larger rewards, including a new character.

Gift Quality Resulting Gold Dust
Green 1
Blue 5
Purple 25

Stories

Stories are character-exclusive contents provided freely to players who owned the corresponding character. Currently there're only 3 characters having story plots: Ichihime, Miki Nikaidou and Anju Suzumiya. Stories can be accessed in each character's info page in dormitory. The former 3 bonding stages contain novel-like descriptive contents. The latter 3 stages provide interactive contents, with multiple branches and different rewards correspondingly. Higher stage contains better rewards.

Skins

Apart from standard and bonded skins of each character, more alternative skins can be acquired during events. In the vast majority of cases, these skins both require monetary purchase, by using Outfit Vouchers. Usually each static skin requires 880 vouchers, while animated requires 1,500, and both accompanying with one extra emote.

Unidirectionally, Outfit Vouchers can be converted to Jades by ratio of 1:1. Though generally such exchange is not recommended, as purchasing Jades directly is much cheaper. Jades cannot be converted to Outfit Vouchers, neither can Jades be used to purchase skins in any means.

Exclusive Characters

Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited time, usually during an event. Regular character pools do not contain them after the acquisition period. Usually those characters are from animation / manga series, or collaborators. A few of them are official characters but with rarity settings.

Collab Characters

Currently there're 5 collabs:

  • Linovel: Collab from the light novel website Linovel, including 1 character: Keikumusume.
  • Saki: Collab from the manga series Saki: the Nationals, including 4 characters: Saki Miyanaga, Nodoka Haramura, Koromo Amae, Teru Miyanaga.
  • Kakegurui: Collab from the manga series Kakegurui XX, including 4 characters: Yumeko Jabami, Mary Saotome, Midari Ikishima, Kirari Momobami.
  • Akagi: Collab from the manga series Akagi: The Genius Who Descended into the Darkness, including 2 characters: Shigeru Akagi, Iwao Washizu.
  • Kaguya-sama: Collab from the manga series Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Ultra Romantic-, including 4 characters: Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, Kei Shirogane.

Self-exclusive Characters

Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and meanwhile, can also only be acquired in a limited time. In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated.

Currently only 1 character is officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji.

When the hand is composed with another yakumans, it is always treated as the highest yakuman: Single-wait Four Concealed Triplets (Suuankou Tanki), Thirteen-wait Thirteen Orphans (Kokushi Musou Juusanmen Machi) and True Nine Gates (Junsei Chuuren Poutou). In those cases the hand is counted as triple yakuman. [3]

3P-Mahjong

3P-Mahjong (Sanma) is a variation based on regular mahjong, allowing 3 players to start a match.

The ruleset of Majsoul Sanma basically refers to Tenhou. Most of the rules are identical to Tenhou Sanma.

There're two different scoring mechanics ingame, by default Tsumo-Loss is applied in Ranked Matches, while North-Bisection is provided as an alternative option in Friendly Matches.

Ruleset in details

  • Starting points: 35000, End points: 40000
  • Uma points: First +15, Second ±0, Third -15
  • Rinshan-tile amount: 8 tiles
  • Tiles from   to   are not used, thus Mixed Triple Sequence (Sanshoku Doujun) yaku is unavailable.
  • When Dora indicator is  , Dora is  .
  • Red fives: 2 tiles (  and  )
  • Honba point: 200 points for each Honba stick
  • No-ten penalty: 2000 points
  • Completing a sequence by calling Chii: Disabled
  • North can be used for replacement dora "Kita" (Nukidora / Kita).
    • After a Kan (Rinshan Kaihou) yaku is applied when winning a hand with rinshan tile from North replacing.
    • North replacing can be robbed even with non-yakuman hand. However Robbing a Kan (Chankan) yaku is not applied, the hand itself still requires another yaku to win with.
    • North replacing cannot be claimed immediately right after Pon.
    • North replacing is similar to a calling action, thus this can nullify Ippatsu (Ippatsu), Blessing of Earth (Chiihou), Nine Different Terminals and Honors (Kyuushu Kyuuhai) and Double Riichi (Daburu Riichi).
    • North replacing does not lead to a furiten of North.
  • North is treated as guest-wind tiles (Otakaze), a triplet of North cannot get 1 han as Value Tiles (Yakuhai / Fanpai).
  • Due to lacking of North seat, there're no abortive draws of Four-wind Discarded (Suufon Renda) and Four-player Riichi (Suucha Riichi).

Calculation of Scoring Points

Currently there're 2 different scoring methods ingame:

  • Tsumo-Loss (default): Winner loses the income from North seat when the hand is completed by Tsumo.
  • North-Bisection: The income from North is equally divided and distributed towards every other seats.

In Ranked Match Tsumo-Loss is applied.

The scoring table with Tsumo-Loss is basically identical to regular 4P-mahjong:

The calculation on Tsumo is finished by the following steps:

  1. Calculate the scoring points based on 4P-Mahjong.
  2. Equally divide North seat's payment (round up to whole hundreds).
  3. Append the half North payment to other seats.

E.g. A non-dealer wins with a hand of 40fu 3han.

  1. Based on 4P-Mahjong, dealer should pay 2600, while non-dealer 1300.
  2. North pays 1300, half of the payment is 650 -> round up to 700.
  3. Dealer actually pays 2600 + 700 = 3300, while non-dealer 1300 + 700 = 2000.

Notes:

  • A rough calculation between VIP points and actual cost can be done by the following formula:
    6 VIP points = 6 CNY ≈30 NTD or ≈1 USD <CN> / 1 USD <EN> / ≈120 JPY <JP>.
    • The prices in JP server are slightly increased from October 1st, 2019 due to an increasement of consumption tax.
    • The currency in CN server is switched to New Taiwan Dollar after the server migration from June 9th, 2020, while US Dollar is also available in Steam client released on July 15th, 2020. Overall prices are higher, while rewarded jades are also increased slightly.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Sometimes Ichihime's Gift Box is also named as Casual Chest. In spite of the name difference, they're actually the same one, sharing same chest points to open.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Story rewards are currently acquirable only for characters containing story plots.
  3. ↑ However this is not always reliable, and sometimes it's misleading. Interests of some characters can match more than one type of gifts (e.g. Natsuki Shinomiya), while some of them can't match any at all (e.g. Hideki Akechi).
  4. ↑ Of course, including winning Tenhou and Chiihou both once. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
