Yellow Mountain Imports Mini Chinese Mahjong Travel Game Set, Little MJ with Extra Small White Tiles [迷妳旅行中國麻將]

The perfect mini set! Of course it’s small. That’s why it’s so handy. Far lighter than a standard set but with some heft to it. Compact with everything you need. Think of this as a travel set, not your primary set. It’s way better than trying to play with flat playing cards.As others have noted, the case isn’t super durable or high quality. Basically vinyl covered cardboard. It is nicely designed though — everything fits perfectly inside: tiles, trays, dice, two blanks, there’s even a mini wind indicator. Two snaps hold the whole thing closed. If you consider the fact that board games usually come in cardboard boxes, this is actually a step up.

This is a great set if you are planning to travel with it. Everything packs up nicely inside the carrying case. It's also a great value for the money, especially if you are just learning and don't want to spend an arm and a leg on your first set. My only complaint is, because it's a travel size and the tiles are small, none of the tiles have numbers on them. This makes it extremely difficult for beginners who are just learning the game to differentiate what's what. As we learned, we often had to consult the user's manual to figure out what characters equaled what number. This instruction manual also had some errors, and the images in the manual didn't always match up to the tiles themselves. We eventually consulted online instructions to ensure we were learning the game properly, as the manual left some important information out. Although the included manual needs some updating, especially if you are just learning the game, the set overall is a great value for the price, and makes it easy to take this fun game with you on the go!

This is better than I hoped. Very small, perfect carrying case with 4 fitted holders inside for the American, numbered tiles. Heavy, quality and pristine (hand painted?) tiles. Extra Jokers, blanks, 3 dice and Wind indicator. Room for several large MJ cards, too. A very quality set & perfect for a long trip, via plane, train and car!

After reading the negative reviews, I took a chance on buying this set to bring with me on my trips and am very pleased with the product. I took many of the negative reviews with a grain of salt as comments about small size and missing numbers was counter to what is seen in the product images. Measurements were included in the product description so shame on those who didn't see this information in the write-up. Yes it is small but THAT is the point of the travel set. I'm looking forward to trying it out on my upcoming cruise.

For a travel set, this is fantastic. The tiles, although small, are of great quality, have the thickness of a "real" tile, and are very clear to read. The racks/holders are sufficient for its purpose, but for me, I prefer to have an actual rack for the tiles. With the plastic racks/holders this comes with, the tiles stand upright - I prefer them to be a bit angled back. So, we got "scrabble" racks to supplement this and now this set is perfect. I highly recommend this if you really like playing mah jongg and travel a lot. The packaging is great and overall, a great product!

Sorry for waiting till now for this review. This set of MJ has been serving my friends ever since I got them in Sept 2015 (over a year ago). Over the past weekend, our friends were with us playing this set of MJ game again, and someone SCREAMED all of sudden !! There were actually 5 of a kind, instead of only 4. We found that there was also a missing character for this course. Even though the set came with two extra "wild" MJ, but you will feel odd when you are holding this "wild" because you may puzzle if this is indeed "wild" or just a MJ being turned around. Anyway... if you plan to order this set, please check all of them immediately before playing to make sure they gave you all characters in the right number (Don't just count the total number of MJ). Hope this helps.

Cute, but too small to be practical to play with. The plastic trays that come with it, however, do make it easier and more mobile.

Small enough to play anywhere. Tile are small visable and high quality. Has dice and wind indicator for Chinese play but is an American set.
