Happy Lunar New Year to one and all, and may the year of the Rooster be prosperous for you. Why prosperous? Why not healthy, happy or safe? I can't help it. I'm Chinese. Whether it's the year of the Rooster, Horse, Snake, Dragon, Rabbit or Zebra, the new year should always be prosperous. So there.

3 things to do during the first day of the year of the Rooster:

1) Revisit the Subservient Chicken, complete with the list of actions so far!
The Chicken might be old news to some, but it may still have some tricks up its sleeves! For those poor sods who've never played with this coc - erm rooster, before, don't peek at the list first, and try to be creative and even downright vulgar.

2) Play Rooster's Four Blessings Mahjong·
Chicken's Blessing 1: Scoreless hands, also known as 鸡胡 (ji hu, chicken game), gets the same weight as 大四喜 (the four blessings).
Chicken's Blessing 2: The Rooster tile gives your two 翻, or doubles.
Chicken's Blessing 3: The Rooster tile matched with the Centipede tile nets you four 翻.
Chicken's Blessing 4: For every wind, Players born in the year of the Rooster gains 1 immunity option from all normal discards and high risk discards. Making other player's games will result in the same amount of payment from all for all manners of discards. Booya!

3) Feast of Roosters, or 鸡汉全席!
After losing 100 rounds straight at Mahjong to the rooster player, plot your revenge and cook up 101 dishes of chicken, thereby driving roosters into eternal extinction.

Have a good one!
