The set includes instructions for beginners. Rather than traditional line drawings of bamboo and Chinese characters, it features Ryuto Miyake’s stunning animal illustrations, with each suit featuring Asian land, sea and air animals. Give the gift of pongs and chows, only with pangolins, sea nettles and Mandarin ducks." Associated Press, 'Gifty new and unusual pandemic-proof games for the holidays' Product Description Animal Mah-jong takes the classic Chinese tile game and updates it for a contemporary audience! Rather than the traditional line drawings of bamboo and Chinese characters, it features Ryuto Miyake's stunning animal illustrations—each suit features Asian land, sea, and air animals. Get ready to pong and chow like you never have before! Review: Great quality per price - Great value per price when compared to more expensive melamine sets. The tiles are made from thick cardboard. This set is easy to modify to Chinese Mahjong by removing bonus tiles and jokers. Set contains: Land animals (Bamboos) 1-9 Sea Animals (dots) 1-9 Flight Animals (numbers/characters) 1-9, Shells and Corals (flowers and seasons)x8 Stones (dragons-white, red, and green stones) Feathers (NEWS/winds) Slugs (jokers) Player seating directional tiles 2 dice blank extra tiles 8 cardboard-punch racks Instruction manual Overall, the set as a whole is well made, vibrant, and easy to read. I highly recommend Animal Mahjong as a good quality alternative tile set for any Chinese/American Mahjong player that is on a budget. The only negative is that the tile racks are made from cardboard. The racks are a little flimsy but it is not too much of a fuss. Pros: Easy to read large tiles Good/vibrant artwork Good value/price when compared to melamine sets. Thick cardboard tiles. Lightweight easy to carry set. Can play Chinese and American variants. Cons: Flimsy cardboard racks Review: Beautiful game but challenging - Beautifully presented, unfortunately tricky to understand the rules. I play Hong Kong mah jong and American style. The pictures are amazing. ## Features - EASY TO LEARN, totally addictive gameplay! - A CONTEMPORARY TAKE ON A CLASSIC GAME featuring animals from all over Asia - GORGEOUS DELICATE ILLUSTRATIONS by Ryuto Miyake - MAH JONG is enjoying a resurgence among young people - STURDY & ATTRACTIVE BOX perfect for gifting and storage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1786276976 | | Additional Features | Animals theme with delicate illustrations, card format | | Age Range Description | Adult,Teen,Kid | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,950 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #67 in Game Boy Advance Games | | Brand Name | Laurence King | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 112 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Improve cognitive skills such as pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and memory through engaging gameplay | | Game Mechanics | hand management, tile placement | | Genre | ART, Animals, Asian, Board Games, Chinese, GAMES & ACTIVITIES, General, NATURE | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09781786276971 | | Included Components | Cards, Instructions | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 2.76 x 8 x 0.04 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2.76"L x 9.45"W | | Item Type Name | Mah-jong | | Item Weight | 3.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Laurence King Publishing | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1200.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 144.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9781786276971 | | Material Type | Bamboo | | Model Number | 9781786276971 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 4 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Animal Mah-Jong | | Size | Standard | | Subject Character | Animal | | Supported Battery Types | No battery required | | Theme | Animal | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Animal Mah-Jong - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RwX46QYBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are there winds and flower cards** A: There are Winds and flower card/tiles but they are represented by the feather group with the NEWS directionals, sea shells/corals represent flower and season groups, rocks group represent dragons, Land, Sea, and Air animals groups each represent one of the 3 1-9 numeral suits (ie bamboo, characters, and dots), and Slugs are the Joker group per American Mahjong. **Q: Hello.

Cons: Flimsy cardboard racks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful game but challenging *by S***N on December 5, 2025* Beautifully presented, unfortunately tricky to understand the rules. I play Hong Kong mah jong and American style. The pictures are amazing. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful design but may not be worth it. *by S***I on October 17, 2023* The designs are gorgeous but for the price, I believe getting a real tile set maybe worth it. This set is made entirely of cardboard so will not last as long with a lot of use. When setting up the walls, it was harder because the cardboard tiles were so thin. I have a actual tile set that I purchased for 10 $ more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/238284680-animal-mah-jong](https://www.desertcart.at/products/238284680-animal-mah-jong) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
