I also prefer riichi. Furiten is such a game changer, all other rulesets feel a bit less after that

Riichi is a good candidate for a video game due to all the specific rules. It has a lot of room for QoL. I have an app on my phone [1] that has made it fun to play and learn thanks to the guidance it has with the rules

[1] https://kemono.games/game/Kemono-Mahjong hunky furries aside, it's a really good single player Riichi app lol

		>hunky furries Well the other options are the gooner gacha games like Mahjong Soul and Riichi City lol Personally I play on Mahjong Soul because apart from Tenhou that has the most populated PvP with enough players in each rank + it's a butter smooth experience with all the small features. And I love the special modes like Battle of Asura

I've been looking for a free one with really good helper UI to keep track of all the rules.

		Helper UI per se won't exist because there are so many little things. If we talk about riichi then the best tutorial is probably in Kemono Mahjong https://cyberdog.ca/kemono-mahjong/ Personally I'd say Mahjong Soul is the best riichi client out there, that's where I play https://mahjongsoul.yo-star.com/ Extremely streamlined, good QoL features like tile highlighting (dora too), showing waits and options when you are tenpai, custom lobbies (so you can play with friends), and a pretty robust online ranked system. There is a good tutorial too. The big downside is the gacha system which is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay at all but it can be a turn off for some people.
