{{nihongo|'''Gambler Jiko Chuushinha'''|ぎゅわんぶらあ自己中心派||lit. Gambler Self-Centered School}} is a [[mahjong]] game based upon a manga license of the same name that was developed by [[Game Arts]] for the [[Famicom]] and the [[MSX]], and published in Japan by [[Asmik]] towards the end of [[1988]]. Being based on a manga, it has a large cast of characters from the comics that the player can choose to compete against. Beyond the manga license, it is very much still a mahjong game, focusing mostly on playing the tile-based board game, though using a difficult variation on the usual rules of the game, known as Reach Mahjong.
