hi everyone.
im looking for a good quality mahjong tile set (and any accessories) that is also very beautiful. I've gotten into mahjong lately and want to get a nice set. willing to spend up to$500. thx.
I'm looking for Mahjong Games, I'm very interested in it.
Can someone send me names of games or even websites???
I grew up in HK and this was my first trip back in almost a decade. The one souvenir I wanted was a set of hand carved mahjong tiles from master Cheung Shun King. He had a set available for purchase and I ordered some additional custom tiles with my name on them. He got them done in 4 days! These will replace the 發口中 tiles. There aren't many of these hand carvers left in the city and so I wanted a piece of old Hong Kong before they all retire and no one picks up their chisels, and this makes the set uniquely mine. :)
Japanese players tend to use Japanese terms for all game terminology, but I don't see Chinese variant (MCR/Hong Kong/others) doing the same. In fact, all English MCR fan lists I've found use translated hand names rather than the Chinese names. Is there a reason for this? (Do MCR players really prefer to say "greater honors and knitted tiles" vs "qixing bukao"?)
I have a PORTABLE mahjong machine that you and take with you. (NOT a table). It dispenses tiles one at a time.
It says to empty it before transporting, but it doesn’t say how. Do I just pull out each tile one by one, or is there a special trick to it or a button to push?
Hey all. I'm back again. This time, I'm sharing a story I worked for weeks on about the incredible rise in popularity of mahjong both here and nationwide. The story looks at the roots of the game, includes Asian and Jewish perspectives and the trendiness/commodification of the game in recent years. Hope you like it!
I'm just venting - I do work at being gracious and helpful. But why do beginners show up at games for experienced players, when they really should be taking a class or watching YouTube? In 2 hours last night, we played only 5 games as 2 beginners joined the group. Like, "can I use a joker in a pair" beginners. Mah jongg is usually a stress reliever for me, but I went home last night more stressed than when I arrived!
Playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and can't for the life of me understand why these aren't winning with Tsumo?
I thought it's because of furiten at first, but as I understand it, furiten only prevents Ron and not Tsumo right?
I've a full list of Yakuman that I've done in every client. Maybe I'll post that later. It's a total of 19 split across Mahjong Soul, Riichi City, FFXIV, Tenhou and Fight Club Sp. Getting screenshots for everything is a pain in the butt.
Hello,
My MIL loves playing Mahjong, to the point she taught me, my husband and my FIL this last weekend. We really enjoyed it. But one thing she kept talking about throughout the day is how she wants a really pretty tile set, but they're expensive. She has a cute blue mahjong mat with pink florals and mentioned how she adored these expensive tiles that were multicolored layered and matched her playing mat.
So, me being super crafty couldn't help but think this entire time. I should make her a custom set for her birthday/Christmas.
Now my question is, what are some good molds? Should I made them out of clay, resin, or something else? I'd like it to still have some wait to it. Also if I want to be ambitious and do my own version of the designs (I think this would be nice to fully match her playing mat) should I cast blank tiles and then dremel it? Not sure if a fine enough tip exists locally, so that might need to be an online purchase. Or should I 3D FDM/Resin print it? could even make the models, print 1 each, make a mold of the actual amount I need, that way the color is cohesive.
Hey everybody, so I recently acquired a new to me set, guessing it's 70's'ish from the case. I have never played the physical game before, only that which shall not be mentioned. If you all would be so kind as to educate me on a few things. I have tried and failed in my own research.
I have 8 blank tiles and I appear to not have either the seasons or the plants. I have not seen any sets like this.
What are the "sticks" for? And so I have the right amount?
36 single dot
8 five
40 eight
4 nine
Thank you for any and all information you have.
I regularly play mahjong with my partner and mother in law who are from Hong Kong. I got this hand but there was a disagreement on points, I thought 7 and mother in law thinks 10. I was east. How many points is this worth?
New to mahjong here
Based on the picture, if i have Little Three Dragon and since two of my triplets are dragon tiles, would my fan score be 5+1+1=7?
Also if i win with a self draw, do i add another 1 making it 8 fan?
Thank you
