Riichi mahjong is relatively easy to learn but it takes a lifetime to master.  

PADAWAN OBJECTIVES
Recognize patterns to identify potential yaku
Reach tenpai (ready to win) in six discards
Improve waits
Don't deal in!  

The Riichi Quick Reference that I use is aligned with the World Riichi Competition rules. It is not comprehensive but includes commonly used Riichi terms and scoring elements that I find helpful as a teacher and intermediate player.  Click to download:  https://goo.gl/tiBP7N
