I don't play Mahjong, so here goes:

"カラオケもいいけど、ひさしぶりに麻雀したいわ。レートはピンのワンスリーでルールはアリアリ、でも真面目に手作りしたいからチップとご祝儀はなしね。国士十三面四暗刻単騎はダブル役満でいいわよね?"

Ok. I can take the names of those specific terms and stick them in but honestly, that would sound kinda awkward. Any suggestion?

"Even Karaoke is fine, but we haven't had play Mahjong for such a long time. The bet is three times the number of tiles, and anything goes, but I want to do major tiles, so there's no need to chip or need to add points. We will decide based on the final points. Kokushi Shisan-men and Su-ankou Tanki on Yakuman alright?" (note: Japanese Mahjong terminologies are unique)

That is how I translated this currently. I don't know of the equivalence in English for those terms... or if I am describing correctly.

国士十三面 = One of each wind (東,西,南,北), 中, 發, white tile, 一萬, 九萬 (character suit), 一索, 九索 (bamboo suit), 一筒, 九筒 (circle suit)

Thirteen Unique Wonders / The Thirteen Odds

四暗刻単騎 = Three of each wind, one thing, pick up something to make it pair.
All hidden.

Four Large Blessings / Four Large Lucks

Can also just be 3 something, 3 something, 3 something, 3 something and a pair, but that doesn't sound as good..^^
