== Current Rooms ==
The special rooms can be accessed by clicking Tournament Match. As of March 2024, the following rooms are available:
*[[#Tournament|Tournament Lobby]]
*A weekly rotation room - this changes every week.

== Casual Room ==
'''Casual Room''' {{kana|交流の間}} <small style="color:#999;">(''Kouryuu no ma'')</small> is the unranked lobby. The rules are identical to the ranked rooms, but no coppers are spent, no rank points are gained/lost, and no progress towards Casual Chest / bond points are made. Unlike Friendly Match, this room lets you match up with random players (with Friendly Match, you must find players or use AI). Casual Room is a permanent fixture to the game.
== Event Room ==
'''Event Room''' {{kana|特別対局}} <small style="color:#999;">(''Tokubetsu taikyoku'')</small> is a room for event purposes. Despite its name, there's nothing special at all to the room: it follows the regular settings of 4P-East gameplay.

The ruleset is identical to normal gameplay. There is no rank change or copper payment, but you cannot gain bond points or chest rewards.
The '''tournament lobby''' is a permanent fixture in the game. Users have the ability to pay 60 Jade to create tournament lobbies. They may apply special rule customizations for their desired tournament or otherwise utilize default rule settings. A number of clubs, individuals, and Yostar itself have hosted tournaments.
 
== Chaotic Wall Break ==
'''Chaotic Wall Break''' {{kana|龍の割目}} <small style="color:#999;">(''Ryuu no wareme'')</small> is a special room with three dora indicators revealed in advance, as well as applying a special, altered [[wareme]] rule. The maximum amount of dora remains at 5 (not counting uradora), so only the first two kans reveal dora indicators.


Casual Room is long-term available.
One player is designated as the wareme. The payment to and from the wareme player is doubled (excluding honba and riichi bets). Due to the lack of physical wall position, the game determines the wareme player in a different way. In each round, one random player get a wareme marker. This switches randomly every five turns. The same player can be chosen when the marker switches.


== DoraDorara ==
== DoraDorara ==
'''DoraDorara''' {{kana|ドラさんモード}} <small style="color:#999;">(''Dorasan moudo'')</small> is a special room with 3 dora indicators revealed in advance. The maximum amount of dora still remains at 5 (plus the 5 uradora), so only the first two kans reveal dora indicators.

'''Duel of Divination''' is a special room. Except for the dealer's first draw, whenever a player draws a tile, they get a choice of one of three options. Other players may see these options. Once an option is picked, the other two options persist until they are picked.


One player is designated as the wareme. The payment to and from the wareme player is doubled (excluding honba and riichi bets). Due to the lack of physical wall position, the game determines the wareme player in a different way. In each round, one random player get a wareme marker. This switches randomly every five turns. The same player can be chosen when the marker switches.
[[Tenhou]], [[chiihou]], [[double riichi]], and [[ippatsu]] work as normal, even when drawing from option tiles. If three or fewer tiles are in the live wall, no more option tiles appear, and kan is forbidden.

SBR is much more offensive than riichi mahjong. With such high noten penalties, it is always recommended to try to keep tenpai / advance towards tenpai. If you give up going for tenpai, you'll just have to pay it back at the exhaustive draw. Trying to hold a tile from the excluded suit is especially risky and almost never recommended. Due to these penalties, the lack of [[furiten]], and lack of riichi calls, traditional defense is much weaker. Probably the best to play "defensive" is to win fast with cheap hands.

There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common. Triplets also get the benefit of enabling kan, which increases score through both kan payments and root.

A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku. The only yaku that allow sequences are chinitsu, junchan, root, and the other bonus yaku. Still, keeping sequences will let your hand develop faster, thus allowing you to escape payment from others. Plus, even a yakuless tsumo is worth 6000 points if nobody has won yet.

*Azure Bonus is gained for each consecutive tedashi discard (discarding a tile other than the one you drew) in the pond. The bonus is equal to 1 han for 3 discards, 2 han for 6 discards, 3 han for 9 discards, 5 han for 12 discards, 12 han for 18 discards.

*Crimson Bonus is gained for each consecutive tsumogiri discard (discarding the tile you drew) in the pond. The bonus is equal to 1 han for 3 discards, 2 han for 5 discards, 3 han for ? discards, 5 han for ? discards, 12 han for 12 discards.

A hand can score both the Azure Bonus and the Crimson Bonus at the same time. Note that bonuses consider the amount of consecutive tiles ''in the pond''. Therefore, an opponent [[naki|calling]] a discard means that the called tile won't count towards either bonus.

Therefore, an opponent [[naki|calling]] a discard means that tile won't count towards either bonus. Also, the tedashi/tsumogiri discards have to be consecutive, so 2 tedashi -> 1 tsumogiri -> 1 tedanshi does not grant Azure Bonus 1.
In this mode, tedashi discards are marked in the normal color, and tsumogiri discards are greyed out (as with replays).

'''Soul Punch''' is a special room introduced with the collab with [[wikipedia:Blue Archive|Blue Archive]]. The rules are the same as regular 4P mahjong, except with a few changes to [[riichi]].
*Riichi is a 2 han yaku, and double riichi is 3 han.
*When declaring riichi, the player gains the "Soul Punch" status, which lets them immediately draw and discard tiles for up to 6 turns in a row. Any of those 6 tiles can be called like usual, including [[ron]]. When the player wins from any of these 6 draws, [[ippatsu]] is scored.
**When the riichi declaration tile or any of the discarded tiles are [[naki|called]], Soul Punch is immediately cancelled.
**After declaring closed [[kan]], the rinshan draw counts as one of the 6 draws, unless you have 0 draws remaining.
*When a player [[ron|deals in]] after riichi, or deals in with the riichi declaration tile, they have to pay an extra +2 han (displayed as "Weak"). No penalty for opponent [[tsumo]].
