Very stylish set!

Slightly smaller than standard mahjong tiles but perfect for playing on the go - we've taken this to restaurants and cafes and it plays well. No extra tiles are provided in case you lose one. Also, I want the tile to be glossy, but it's matte - which is fine - just not what I expected. The case that comes with it looks very thin. Otherwise I am satisfied with the purchase and recommend it.

Pros
  • Whole set weighs 2.5kg
Cons
  • Some insects

Pros
  • Please note these tiles are smaller than large Japanese mahjong tiles

This set is definitely not traditional (at least on the surface!), but it makes a good impression on others when I present the set in-game. A common phrase that most people will say is "night mode," and I have to agree that that's an accurate statement. I'm just not interested in this set. I initially

Cons
  • It's OK
