Setting Up Your Travel Mahjong Game
1. Find Your Perfect Spot: Since you’re on the go, the first step is finding a spot where you and your fellow players can comfortably sit and play. A picnic table, a beachside blanket, or even a cozy corner in a coffee shop works great!
2. Set Up the Racks and Tiles: Place the racks in front of each player. Due to the miniature size, we suggest playing without building walls, and simply drawing the tiles from the including tile bag.
3. Determine the Dealer: Roll the dice to determine who will be the dealer (East Wind). The game will rotate counterclockwise.
4. Draw and Arrange Your Tiles: Each player will draw 13 tiles from the tile bag (14 for the dealer) and arrange them on their rack. The goal is to create a winning hand, which consists of specific combinations of tiles.
Playing the Game
- Drawing and Discarding: The game begins with the dealer discarding one tile, and the next player draws a tile from the tile bag or takes the discarded tile. They’ll then discard one tile.
- Making Combinations: Players can also form a “Mahjong” with specific hands listed on the National Mah Jongg League playing card.
- Calling a Win: When you’ve formed a complete hand, call out “Mahjong!” to declare your victory. Don’t forget to show off your winning hand!
Tips for Playing On the Go
- Keep it Simple: When you’re playing with a travel set, you might not have as much space as at home. Consider using a smaller table to keep everything organized.
- Stay Organized: Make sure all tiles and accessories are accounted for before packing up.
- Make it Fun: Whether you’re playing with seasoned pros or introducing new friends to the game, the Oh My Mahjong Travel Set is all about having fun. Keep the mood light and enjoy the time spent together.
