Dal Rossi Mahjong Set. Mah Jong is a Chinese tiles game which is similar to the card game Rummy... but much more exciting and exotic. It is played around the world both casually and professionally. In China, both playing Mahjong and the making of a Mahjong Set is an art form.

This impressive Dal Rossi Italy Mahjong set comes in a deluxe oak case measuring 53cm x 22.5cm x 9.5cm, thus making it the perfect gift for the Mahjong enthusiast! The white tiles measure 3cm x 2.2cm x 1.5cm. Dices, wind indicator, counting chips and wooden racks are all included.

The 144 tiles have numbers and English characters on them to make them easier to recognise. The game also has four long playing racks that are 43cm x 7.5cm.

Setting up
A wall of 18 tiles is built, stacked two high. Dice rolls decide who is East Wind, and respectively South, West and North. Each player takes 13 tiles from the wall into your hand; East takes an extra tile, being the first to discard.

Play
As in Rummy you take a tile then discard a tile, so that you always have 13 tiles in your hand. There are rules about claiming discarded tiles from other players, with wonderful terms such as 'chow', 'pung' and 'kong' (see 'groups' below).

Winner
The object is to collect four groups of three tiles and an identical pair. The first person to have done so is said to go "Mah Jong".

This Oak Veneer Dal Rossi Mahjong Set includes:

• A full set of tiles, dice, sticks
• Wind indicator and 4 Racks (43cmx7.5cm)
• A Beautiful 50cm Oak veneer wood case for storing the Mahjong Set.
