Using the Auto-Compass
The Auto-Compass replaces the traditional physical compass most players use for hand-shuffle Riichi Mahjong. This digital compass does it all for you. It can —
- Shuffle the dealer
- Indicate seat winds and starting dealer
- Show direction and dice roll of where to break the wall
- Indicate the number of Riichi sticks on the table
- Track honba
- Show score differences between players
- Calculate Han and Fu, as well as Exhaustive Draw payments
… and more! Future updates to the compass are possible via USB-C connection to a computer.
Additional Features
When setting up for a game, the players can change the starting score to whatever they would like (the default being 25k).
Kiriage Mangan, one of the most commonly used house rules, can also be enabled which which will round the scoring for certain threshold Han and Fu combinations for you.
There are features to manually adjust the score of each player to account for Chombos (penalties), party rules, Double Ron, and more.
If a Han/Fu combination is accidentally entered incorrectly, an included Undo Last Round feature returns the compass to the previous round’s state.
