Yellow Mountain ImportsChinese Traditional Mahjong Playing Cards - 144 Card Set

I bought my pack of chinese traditional mahjong playing cards from Yellow Mountain Imports. Shipping took 5 days, not counting Sunday and the Saturday I ordered it on.Cards are in perfect shape, brand new, all 144 are there, plus two blank cards which I made into handy cheat sheets for the character cards and winds.The only cards in English are the season and flower cards; all of the other cards are without western letters or numbers.If you are looking for an affordable, high quality alternative to traditional mahjong tiles, I recommend you buy this set. I also recommend you buy a large deck box and simple card sleeves ("cheap sleeves," or "penny sleeves,") to extend the life of the cards. The box they come in is nice, but the box isn't going to last long.

If you're looking for very portable traveling mahjong fun without the trouble of the tiles, this is perfect. It almost becomes a card game that can be played almost anywhere. The cards are slightly smaller than an average poker card, but the box can hold them all perfectly without much wear and tear.I got this for just $2, so it's completely worth it. Cheaper than a set of poker cards I would say.It would be a plus to learn mahjong before getting these cards though, otherwise you'll have to find someone to teach you.

These Mahjong cards are great. They are a good size and are a decent size and quality for playing cards.If you are used to playing with Mahjong tiles that have English markings for the Winds and Characters, they do not. You will either need to learn the symbols for these cards, or find a cheat-sheet online that you can print out.Overall, they were worth the purchase for me.

Excellent way to become familiar with the suits, seasons, plants, and winds used in this game. The card stock is excellent quality and the cards are a perfect size, especially considering the number of cards in a deck. You must absolutely shuffle these cards well before you play. You have to be diligent in your shuffling or you won't mix them up enough. Have fun!

The package of cards came sealed in plastic but many of the cards inside were dirty with black and red marks smeared on them. I tried wiping them with a damp towel, but the dirt stayed. Very disappointed. Graphics on the cards were very simplified/primative in dull color (especially the green) - not vibrant or impressive. Would be embarrassed using the cards with friends.

My family loves to play mahjong, but the regular tile set is much too bulky and heavy to bring along on trips. These cards are a reasonable substitute. The cards are easy enough to read, but the cards themselves are difficult to hold throughout a game. Sometimes a couple of cards stick together when drawing them off the pile. Also the entire pile of cards is impossible to shuffle together. I split it into 2 smaller piles and shuffle each pile separately and then combine the 2 back together.They are strictly for travel and fun enough, just not as easy to use as a regular tile set.

I love these cards. Of course nothing compares to the actual tiles but I bought this for our mini road trip and it was a fun and different experience. The cards are good quality for playing cards and I love that it comes in a thicker, sturdier box so I can just throw it in my backpack for a little fun while on the go.

I bought these to make it easier to play in general, without having to have lug the tiles and/or table along with it.

Recommend it if you want a travel pack. Although if you want the tile experience of playing mah-jongg, getting actual tiles would be recommended as this has a very different feel to playing the game

Es un juego que es tradicional en la familia. No hay como jugarlo con fichas, pero esta versión se puede usar cuando alguno de los participantes tenga algo de prisa. Hay que ser muy cuidadosos con las cartas para no maltratarlas, fácilmente se pueden dañar

Un jeu de carte solide, simple et élégant, je l'ai acheter pour l'offrir a ma fiancé pour le coté pratique (plus simple de transporter un jeu de carte qu'une mallette pleine de tuiles)

El paquete llego en dos días y las cartas cumplen plenamente mis espectativas. No llevan instrucciones de como se juega, con lo que hay que saberlo de antemano; pero al ser cartas es más fácil y comodo la mezcla y preparación de las partidas a disputar. Habra que esperar a ver su resistencia, con el uso y el paso del tiempo. Muy contento con su compra.

Perfect for travelling, we've had hours of fun!!
