Customer Reviews
This tile set is gorgeous, meticulously packaged for shipping safety, and arrives on time. I may have to get the black tile set as well!! Love itttttt
Tiles have good weight and feel great to use. They make a nice, sleek sound when dragged across the mat. The vinyl case holds up okay if you pick it up like a textbook as opposed to using the handle. I have one or two complaints: Firstly, the dice are not of the best quality, not quite cubes (A minor detail as I already own plenty of dice). Second, there were some strange tile shards stuck inside some of the dot tile carvings (esp 1 dot) and I can't tell if trying to remove those will reveal an unpainted section or risk breaking the tiles. These issues are easily passable, and so I would probably still recommend this set.
Solid set, I wish the bigger tile set was more in stock
I have no idea because it is a gift
Me and my friends have had a great deal of fun playing Riichi. My only issue with this set is the case, as another customer so perfectly said, is "doomed to fail". Do not trust the handle on this case, always carry it by the bottom. Other than that one qualm, the rest of the kit is spectacular, the rulebook was able to teach me from scratch and is really easy to follow.
