Travel Mahjong Set with Racks, Black Vinyl Case

Mahjong that fits in hand luggage.

The smallest of the three cased sets — a full complement of tiles in a black vinyl case with a carry handle, plus racks to hold each player's hand upright. The tiles are scaled down to suit the case, which is the trade-off: it packs away to almost nothing but the tiles are correspondingly smaller in the hand.

Mahjong is a four-player game of draw-and-discard, closer in spirit to rummy than to anything else Western players will know, and the rules vary genuinely by region — Chinese, Hong Kong, American and Australian variants all differ. This is the set to own if the game happens somewhere other than your own dining table: cruises, caravan parks, holiday houses, or the weekly game at somebody else's place.

Perfect for: Travelling players, and anybody whose mahjong group rotates between houses.
