Customer Reviews
Shipping was fast - faster than I expected! The tiles are beautifully made and of high quality. The colors are bright and stand out well against the dark background. These dark tiles are more prone to showing fingerprints under some lighting compared to lighter tile sets, but regular cleaning mitigates this. A great set to enjoy a classic game with friends and family.
Beautiful tiles that I can't wait to play with
It is easy to feel like you are just money to most companies, but I didn't feel that way at all doing business with Yellow Mountain Imports. They were warm and friendly. As far as the mahjong set goes, it is beautifully crafted. It appears exactly as pictured, and each piece is a pleasure to touch and hold. I feel like my set is flawless and well worth the money. I will be using this company for any future gaming needs.
Great. The tiles look cool and are fun to use.
Bought this set to celebrate getting shodan on tenhou.net, and I couldn't be happier with it. The black tiles are gorgeous and feel great to handle. Slightly smaller than I was expecting (having mostly seen Chinese sets irl with those huge chunky tiles), but great for bringing around in its little case for games on lunch at work etc.
The thing to be aware of with this set, I probably don't have to say to someone considering buying it: the coloration is non-standard. This makes it slightly harder to teach beginners using the set, as the hatsu and chun are not actually green and red. But that's such a minor thing.
The set comes with 4 small dice, which is 2 more than you'd usually need, I suppose as backups if/when you lose them. It also comes with 4 extra tiles that I've never seen before; I assume they're for some other variant of the game. Comes with extra 5s as well, if you don't want aka dora I suppose. These aren't complaints, just observations.
Overall I love the set.
