Yoshimoto Mahjong Club

About

Yoshimoto Mahjong Club is a competitive card game centered around Japanese mahjong with a celebrity twist. Players face off against 26 comedians from the Yoshimoto Kogyo talent agency, each represented by animated 3D models and live-action clips. The game includes a free play mode for casual matches and a structured tournament system with 16 titles to claim. Progression requires earning currency to unlock more challenging events. The PlayStation version adds a video gallery featuring outtakes and performances. Released in late 1998 for PlayStation and Sega Saturn, the game leans into its comedic roots with quirky character personalities and voice lines. While niche, its blend of skill-based gameplay and celebrity cameos appeals to mahjong enthusiasts and fans of the original TV show. The Deluxe edition’s extra footage offers bonus content for dedicated players.
