My wife asked for a nice mahjong set for Christmas. What sort of features should I look for in a nice set? Where should or shouldn’t I shop for one?

    Consider whether you want just Chinese numerals, or also Arabic (normal) numerals in the corner.

    Consider which style of mahjong it will be used for. Depending on the style, there are different numbers of total tiles included in the set.

    The feel of the tiles might matter to you, but unfortunately that may be difficult to judge when buying online.

    How would she react to you asking her about the qualities that go into making a good mahjong set? She might have something particular in mind ☺️

      I did and the one feature she mentioned was that the tiles should be like stones. I guess me figuring it out is part of the gift.
