A/N: Last one. Thankfully, no 'Wrath of Yolei' to deal with for cutting the date short.
"Ah, looks like it's a straightforward dice roll choice here," Ken exclaimed, moving the tile. "Then you flip the tile sideways and depending on location you can control a different tile belonging to the other player."
"Which one?" Izzy asked with growing urgency.
"This one," Ken pointed at a tile on the other end of the board. "If I have this rule correct, that is."
"I checked it over, I think you have it right," Yolei replied, jotting down some more notes on her pad. "So that explains everything with Rule 213 on the original sheet."
Cody just sat there staring and shaking his head in disbelief at the entire situation. The table was a mess of tiles, paper sheets, and various random items that he never would have associated with traditional mahjong. Like the many different kinds of dice, multicolored marbles, some rubber bands, and a tea bag.
"This is nothing like mahjong," he stated as the others pored over the notes.
Wormmon picked up the tea bag. "It probably was at one point," he mused. "But rules change over time."
"Or over gamblers trying to get the upper hand," Cody grimaced.
"Eh," Yolei shrugged as Hawkmon arrived in the room with what looked like a desk lamp and a cinnamon shaker. "I'm pretty sure the huge number of rules and exceptions are just to confuse players for penalties and such. Who could remember all this junk anyway?"
"You'd be surprised," Hawkmon supplied, depositing the lamp and shaker on the table. Then he hopped up onto a chair to view the board. "Some digimon have excellent memories."
"Or maybe they just make up stupid rules on the spot to mess with us," Cody muttered irritably.
