Jan Sangoku Musou

Dynasty Warriors Mahjong (雀・三國無双, Jan Sangoku Musou) takes a different approach to a popular eastern pass time, Mahjong, in this title. There are no battlefields involved but there is interaction between warring generals with dialog that somewhat parodies Dynasty Warriors 5. This title is only available in Japan. Koei has no current intentions to release this in North America or in Europe.

Players name their own "Mahjong warrior" from 32 preset designs and 6 different voice sets. Once the player has decided on a character, they can choose to either participate in a tournament or in one of the game's story modes. Each match in story mode has four participants, the player being set against three characters from the Dynasty Warriors series.

The rules are similar to other Mahjong games but includes cuts of the series' characters during matches. Image displays are often voiced and essentially give hints regarding the opposition's situation. These cuts sometimes include the characters posing with their weapons or displaying emotions rarely seen in the series, which makes these instances unintentionally hilarious.

Gameplay
The rules and scores are very similar to form of Japanese mahjong, particularly the type that is found in competitive mahjong games. Players can still forfeit their hand and use pon, chii, riichi, or kan. Though the player is allowed to change certain rules, there are rules the remain by default.
 * Tiles consist the tiger, character, bamboo, and honor tiles. Flower and joker tiles cannot be used.
 * The starting amount is usually set at 30,000. On certain stages, it can also be 16,000 or 20,000 points.
 * All games are competitive; there is no option for solitaire Mahjong.
 * The Sangokushi Musou move (国士無双) and the Seven Pairs move can be done no matter what the game setting.
 * Only the abortive draw, Kyūshu yaochūhai touhai, can be made.
 * Unless it's free mode, the player can clear a stage by succeeding in certain goals. A couple objetives include reaching a high rating for specific winning hands or remaining at a certain amount of points by the match's end.

Mahjong Toupai
The story mode. There is a scenario for each kingdom and a "dream" story mode that is unlocked once the player beats all the other stories. Players travel from six different locations for each kingdom.
 * Wei
 * Cao Cao, bored and restless, calls for the greatest Mahjong warriors in the land to satisfy him with a game. Xiahou Dun asks the player to help him out by finding two other players. During this time, Wei is at war with Yuan Shao but that doesn't stop Xiahou Yuan from calling him over for a game.


 * Wu
 * A grand banquet is being held for a Mahjong tournament. The player is asked by Sun Jian to help with the preparations while he's away.

 * Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Diao Chan - the "cho" team; Zhang He gathered them together since the Japanese pronunciation of their names are a "beautiful" pun of the word butterfly.
