Mah Jong Classic Strategy Game Reviews
#18 in Games

Description

Since reaching American shores in the ‘20s, Mahjong has become the go-to game for generations of classic game fans. American Mahjong, based on the Chinese version, is a four-player game of strategy, skill, and luck, using tiles emblazoned with beautiful Chinese symbols. Similar to the card game gin rummy, the goal is to create sets of tiles that match the tiles of a specific, pre-determined hand, by choosing and discarding tiles from your wall. Our set includes detailed instructions for players who are new to the Mahjong’s rules and tactics. The 152 tiles feel just right to the touch, and the dice, scoring chips and wind indicator complete the set with everything you need to play. Spend your next game night with family or friends enjoying the competition of Mahjong, a true game classic. For 4 players, ages 8 and up.

    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.
