Confusing
We could not figure out the instructions for this game. My partner holds 2 university degrees and he couldn’t figure it out. We love playing this game online. We are still trying to figure it out two weeks later.
A little complicated for a family
The game was packaged well, very heavy. There were a lot of pieces and the instructions were not easy to follow. Unless you are familiar with Mahjong it’s not easy. My family found it confusing.
A new Twist to the good old Mahjong Game
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.
