Buttery tiles sit atop comfortably beautiful wooden racks, and a wooden rosewood veneer case with felt lining gives this set an understated elegance. This set has 166 tiles, including all the 144 tiles for classical Chinese play as well as an extra 22 tiles for the American version of the game. With this set you can comfortably play either version.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: American Mah Jongg Set with Red Wood Case "The Classic" Comment: The set is more beautiful in person. Claimed that the wooden racks included the pushers but the set I received did not have the pushers. I am having to order them separately. Customer Rating: Summary: American Mahjong Game Set with Red Wood Case Comment: Beautiful set; very well crafted. Mahjong is a much more complicated game than I would have imagined. The directions that came with the set give a cursory description about how to play, but I suspect that it takes one years to really learn the complexities. So I am not surprised. I am going to try to find someone who knows how to play in order to begin learning. Also be aware that it takes a minimum of four people to play. More Reviews
