An episode that looks like it’s going to be about an unusual local festival is actually a full episode of the girls trying to out-cheat each other at the mahjong table. I find this series is frequently caught between trying to be about the girls playing mahjong and the
I’ll teach you some of the old rogue ways in Shiren The Wanderer 6
If I could only offer you a single piece of advice for the Mystery Dungeon series— and the traditional roguelike in general— it would be to think before you move. Your greatest weapon in this game is the fact that it is turn-based. It’s easy to forget this, as

Mahjong Stuff in Pon no Michi, Episode 3 - You Probably Shouldn't Just Eat Curry On The Table Like That
Though there isn’t a ton of mahjong in this episode, I managed to squeeze quite a bit out. This is actually the episode where I decided to write this series, as the subs were finding such new and exciting ways to blow it on terminology.
