No. Most of the rules and tile names are not explained. I was lost on the first episode and went to wikipediado some research to help me understand the game.

Yes. I watched it without knowing the rules because it was explained during the anime. You just pick up small things. Try the first 3 episodes and that should answer your question.

Learn the basics of riichi mahjong first. You can find tutorials and such on youtube. I personally started watching it with no knowledge of Mahjong and learned it in between episodes.

Fun fact: you don't need a PhD on everything you watch or read to enjoy it

Even if you don't know anything about Riichi Mahjong you still can enjoy this show, but if you do some research like knowing what is Riichi, Tenpai, Noten,Chi,Pon, kan, Yaku, and some of winning condition. Its make the show even better.

Its about high stakes game after all, you can still feel the fear, the adrenaline. For a gambling anime/manga fan like me. Its one of the best anime i watched.
