I tried learning this game when I lived in Seoul (with pitiable results). How is the Chinese name for this game "wei chi" pronounced? "Way chee"? (The mandarin please.)

clicking on the syllables wéi qí in the column
'Mandarin pinyin' gives the spoken pronunciation.

In e.g. the Firefox browser it is possible to install an 'add-on' within minutes,
which enables to have Chinese characters pronounced.smiley - biggrin
