We had the cards for two days and we were convinced, yes we can play mahjong with two players. We then bought the set above, which is a very lovely set. So for us the cards were an inexpensive introduction to a game for which we have come to enjoy very much, and we love our mahjong set. But without the cards, we may have decided that a mahjong set was too expensive and missed out on a game that we really enjoy. We are still wondering why you must have four players!
Contents:
Standard oriental 144 card set;
10 Jokers (2 extra than for American play);
An extra set of both flower and season cards (for American play);
my set contained 5 blank cards (I suspect that I received an extra);
and one card warning about the extra cards.
My set stuck together at first, but once they were separated, I had no trouble. (I saw that this was the main concern). These cards are also easy to shuffle.
I'm so glad I ordered these cards. I've only played for about 6 months and realized that I really didn't know the reference card very well, and it was holding me back from playing with experienced players. I'm still playing with my learning group and I want to branch out and find other opportunities. I joined a game at a community center about 3 months ago, telling the other players at the table that I was a beginner. They were very patient and I tried hard to keep up with their pace of the game. However, I found that I was having trouble trying to determine what I had in my hand and match it to a possible hand on the reference card. They were a friendly and encouraging group, and I'd like to play with them again - after I feel that I can keep up with their pace of the game.
I decided that I needed to hone my skills with the reference card. I went to my favorite place to find anything I could ever want (Amazon, of course) and found these cards. Once I received the cards, I made up rules for a Mah Jongg Solitaire card game and play at least once a day. I recommend this deck of cards for anyone trying to learn Mah Jongg.
Even if I just deal out 13 cards and use the reference card to organize options for playing, I find it's a great tool to keep me familiar with the card and considering different options in between games with my learning group. Good luck and I hope you Mah Jongg often!
The cards are as described and arrived in the stated timeframe.
