Mahjong equipment: Difference between revisions

Japanese mahjong sets usually come with 144 tiles in a case. Typically, Japanese tiles are individually about the size 16 mm x 19 mm x 26 mm (WLH), capable of standing on their own.

For Japanese mahjong itself, 136 of the 144 tiles are used. This leaves 8 tiles left unused:

* 4 [[red five]] dora: one for manzu and souzu, and two for pinzu. To use these, replace the regular fives with the red fives of the corresponding suit. A game is typically played with 3 red fives, leaving the second red 5p out of the game.
