You could go for a round of mahjong with the legendary Nobuyuki Fukumoto if you place in the top three of an upcoming tournament.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is part of the 30th anniversary celebrations for the Kaiji series. Details are thin at the moment, but the tournament will apparently take place at the beginning of March next year through the online mahjong platform Sega NET Mahjong MJ. Only the top three participants will then be invited to play with Fukumoto the following month.

For those of us who definitely can't play that well, a new 30th anniversary memorial book is up for preorder now that contains interviews, replica manuscripts, as well as interviews with the various editors assigned to the series over the years.
