## Description

desertcart.com: Yellow Mountain Imports Chinese Traditional Mahjong Playing Cards - 144 Card Set : Toys & Games

Review: I like 'em enough to recommend you consider buying 'em. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there an orchid card**
A: Yes, there is an orchid card.  There are 4 cards for the "flowers" and 4 cards for the "seasons".

**Q: So when you have sixteen cards per person how do you hold them up all together?? are there card racks?**
A: How do you have 16 cards on your hand? You're supposed to have only 13? That's perfectly manageable.

**Q: 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?!**
A: 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.

**Q: How to play Chinese card Mahjongg**
A: I shuffle the cards, then dealt cards (13) to each player and (14) to dealer.  The hard part is holding 13 cards in your hand.  Then I set the draw pile (rest of cards) in center of table.  If flowers and completed sets that used discarded cards are placed on table showing grounded.  In hand card sets are held in hand.  I use the Chinese Mahjong rules just like I do with the tiles.

Nice sturdy box

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ CONVENIENT AND FUN
*by L***4 on July 18, 2019*

Love mahjong and love this! When I say mahjong, I mean real mahjong (not the matching kind but the REAL KIND). Thicc, big, and heavy deck but great for traveling and the price ain't so bad. I will say, however, that because these are cards and you would have to hold these in your hands and have to be able to see all the cards, it can be kind of a hassle because your hand gets sore and its hard to organize and look at all 16 cards. But this is an easy fix since you just have to get one of those card holders. Have to improvise on how to set up the cards since you can't really stack them the way you do with the mahjong blocks. So, I just split them into 2 piles for the game. It's not a big problem tho. Overall, this is great! Convenient and fun for road trips or when you are waiting at a gate at the airport!
