King of Mahjong cultivates character, promotes leisure and civilized gaming, and encourages staying away from real-world gambling.

What would people think if an esports game added a mahjong mode? There's not much interest on the forums yet, but I'm quite curious about parents' opinions. Most people believe that Honor of Kings is essentially a brutal game that poisons minds. With the Lunar New Year lottery event, is adding mahjong to cater to the adult market, or is it a transformation to add some fun and make it more than just a boring competitive game?

Mahjong has always been stereotyped as gambling. However, without investing real money, it can actually improve memory and observation skills, much like a card game. It involves using a bad hand to outsmart your opponent and win against all odds; the psychological tactics are just as impressive as in chess. The page for entering mahjong mode, the waiting screen, states "Play civilly, stay away from gambling." It's clear the developers are afraid of being criticized, so they've left this disclaimer.

The rules of the mahjong game are exactly the same as the original, as you can see in the event introduction. Four people play at a table, playing as the avatar of the Child of the Flow. Potatoes replace coins. Accumulate a certain number of potatoes to exchange for related rewards, such as poster actions, poster backgrounds, etc., but skin rewards are not included.

The event also features friend and server-wide leaderboards, allowing players to view top mahjong players in the game and among their friends. Hopefully, this model won't provoke strong opposition, especially since the Dream series also features a design based on Milady's mahjong queen, currently in production.
