User questions & answers
Question: | So, I play with 16 cards per hand. How do you guys spread and hold 16 cards |
Answer: | 2 and 14/16 inches by 2 1/4 inches |
Question: | The whole fun experience with mahjong is the tactile experience; I love shooting my discard tiles out into the pit and whole gathering and stacking the tiles is the other half of the enjoyment--so how is the four rows stacking done with cards |
Answer: | The elasticity in the cuffs and waistband have plenty of give. You can scrunch the sleeves up if needed (depending on how big your forearms are.) However, I do feel like the waistband gives a little more than needed with the stretch, but I also don’t like when sweatshirts are tight. Other than that it really is a comfortable and durable sweatshirt. I work at a Veterinary Hospital so it has a little more wear than normal. It’s been a year since I purchased and it still looks and feels like new. I’d recommend and purchase again. 🙂 |
Question: | So when you have sixteen cards per person how do you hold them up all together?? are there card racks |
Answer: | Mine have a tag labeled "Made in Pakistan" ...JC |
Question: | Is there an orchid card |
Answer: | I don't think so. |

User questions & answers
Question: | does that include instructions |
Answer: | We use it mostly for when we travel, and not for actual "game" play, although you could. I considered making a tilt rack, like the ones you use with tiles. Just cut a slot/kerf in a piece of board, and set the ends in it. they should stand up, and if you overlap the cards, as you would do with regular cards, the length wouldn't be too bad. I would cut the slot about a half inch deep and at a slight angle, so they lean forward a bit to help see them. A 1 x 2 board about a foot or so should hold a 13 card hand, so maybe 14 inches long for a 16 card hand. |
Question: | How many cards are included? What is the size of each card |
Answer: | This would be what I see as the simplest method of playing mahjong with cards instead of tiles. Do note this process is not the same as for tiles.While cards could be sorted into walls, I wouldn't recommended this fashion, as they could take up too much table space. (That, and players might have to get dice from another source for determining where to break.)To my knowledge, there is no arbitrary way of playing with cards, so players should make an agreement how to set them for play. Feel free to use the procedure I mention below.Shuffle all the cards (and cut if desired). If a dead-wall partition is considered, take the top 14-16 cards and place this section of cards on the bottom, crosswise from the deck. Consider this smaller set of cards as "stone-dead." Next, from the top of the remaining "living" cards, distribute them as in tiled mahjong: starting with East's first 4 cards, and so on. All quad and bonus replacements are instead taken from the top of the "living" cards.I hope this will help you enjoy playing with cards. I haven't yet played mahjong with cards, but this would be the procedure I'd use. |
Question: | Do you need to the yearly card from national mah jongg league to play card game? how do you know what hands you play |
Answer: | How do you have 16 cards on your hand? You're supposed to have only 13? That's perfectly manageable. |
Question: | How many cards? Does it have flowers |
Answer: | Yes, there is an orchid card. There are 4 cards for the "flowers" and 4 cards for the "seasons". |

User questions & answers
Question: | is there a table cover for sequence game |
Answer: | Both sets are included. There are 178 cards in the deck. Standard American play uses 152 cards, so there are many extra cards. There are two sets of dragons, two sets of winds, two sets of jokers, and some extra blank cards. This set is great for travel when you don't want to lug around the full size heavy box. One suggestion... if the people playing have arthritis in their hands, you might want to consider buying card holders like the Ableware 15" Playing Card Holder (set/4). Yes, they're one more thing to pack, but still much lighter and less bulky than a MJ set - and it will make long play sessions more comfortable. |

Question: | Does the mat smell |
Answer: | Hello, You'll need four players for this game. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you share more photos, what's the titles look like |
Answer: | Hi, This table is mainly for board games so this should work for a sequence game. Thanks! |
Question: | There is another set which i bought from classic game collection. did not like it so tinny. not sure if this is the same how thick in mm anyone know |
Answer: | It's not super thick, but, thick enough to quiet the tiles on the table and protect them. it has a foam backing on it. I love mine. |
Question: | Does this set come with jokers |
Answer: | No the mat does not smell (unless you spill and do't clean). I will be honest, after having used the mat for a couple years - my fellow mahjongg players prefer the custom screen mats. They comment that their "nails" snag on the carpet. |
Question: | How many tiles fit on a rack |
Answer: | Play is East-South-West-North going to the right around the table - not the compass settings we are used to seeing ! It's mahjong not directional. It's a puzzle. |
