Mahjong Sets

Mahjong set, acrylic tiles, vinyl case.

Mah-Jongg is a traditional Chinese game using illustrated tiles, with gameplay similarities to rummy. It is a popular gambling game, but wagering real stakes is by no means necessary to have fun playing. The tiles consist of three suits numbering 1-9, three different dragons, and the four winds (east, south, west, and north). There are four copies of each tile. Special flower, season, and joker tiles may also be used. Four players take turns drawing from a stock (the wall), or from the other players' discards, in an attempt to form sets of numeric sequences (e.g., 5-6-7 of the same suit), triplets, quadruplets, pairs, and other patterns. Mahjong originated in China in the mid-19th century,
