Review on ๐ŸŽด American Mahjong Travel Game by Nguyen Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great travel version.

Actual rated 4 1/2. I like that the edges of the tiles are the same size as the standard set, they are easy to see. The tile still has the tactile feel (and "click") of a standard plastic tile at just 1/8 inch thick. It still fits perfectly in the wall. The complete set weighs 2.5 pounds without the box, and the shelves and tiles pack into a crate. Eagle packing cube (size 10 1/2 x 4 x 2 inches) that solves the problem of tiles falling out of the box and easily fits in my travel bag. Two tier shelving can take a while to get used to and will likely wear out over time due to poor workmanship, but they will work for a while. I think I'll fix this problem when it happens with a couple of Scrabble racks per player. Another reviewer's idea of a folding carpenter's ruler as a pusher seems like a great solution to not having a pusher post. The manufacturer could have easily solved this problem by including something like this in the package: deduction of 1/2 star out of 5 stars for the posts and the lack of a pusher, but these problems are solvable - it is important that the tiles themselves are clearly durable, legible and pleasant to the touch.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
