Growing up in an Asian household, I was already exposed to the game of Mahjong at an early age. So when this opportunity came to test out a "Western" version of it, I decided to give it a try. First, the CONS- If you are use to playing the Asian version then this new version is going to confuse you tremendously. The rules are totally different, and the scoring is very confusing. It may help if the product was to include 4 credit card sized versions of the score card so each person can have it in front of them to help with strategy. The pros about the product are you can actually use it to play the original version, they're quite small in size so it makes it great for travel if you plan to take it to the cottage or a trip. They're made with pretty good quality but I'm not sure if the paint on it will hold up over time. I suspect it will fade over time. I think to help players with the game, the instructions should include a link with a video demonstration to help clarify things. Overall, a decent product but it will never compare to the original. I have included a picture of the product and compared it to the size of original Mahjong tiles. -

I've never played the original version of this game before so I couldn't quite compare it but as a first time player, I really enjoyed the game. The box arrived and was fairly large in size compared to your typical "boardgame"; almost twice the size. The box was very colourful and had a window cutout that displayed the actual size of the "giant" game piece. I would say its about the size of a large adult hand. You had to put together the game pieces by fitting two halves together. The mat was larger than my living room rug and feels likes a thick shower curtain. The instructions were clear and the game was fairly easy to understand and play together as a family. We really enjoyed moving the large game pieces around the mat. The pros- the mat is fairly durable and can easily we wiped down if it got dirty, its almost impossible to lose the large game pieces, its portable that you can play indoors or outdoors, the game is easy enough for a young child to understand. If I had to make some improvements, I would suggest the game pieces needs to be constructed a bit better as a few of our games pieces when snapped together would would leave a large gap or would break apart mid game. Perhaps it should include some sort of clear elastic or band to hold the game piece together. I would also suggest that the instructions be printed on a cardboard instead of on a pamphlet as by the first game, the instructions were all wrinkled. I can't wait to bring the game to other people's homes to show and play. -
