Very much please with set--came with extra tiles.  My MahJongg friends were very impressed and especially since the set
came with pushers.  Now they all are wanting to order a set of pushers.

The only item that I didn't like were the tiny dice--had to buy standard size.

All in all it was worth the money.

This is a stacking game with a few twists. It was entertaining and after a few plays, I am betting I could figure out a strategy. The pieces are well made. And the directions were clear. I wish there was more of itmore piecesbigger.

Ahh, retirementa time of settling down, relaxing, and reliving the past through warm memories of days gone by. WRONG!

Janie Sullivan breaks the traditional stereotype of retirement living in The Mahjong Murder Club. Twins Gertie and Gabby enlist fellow Mahjong players Clarice and Olivia to discover who murdered Janine Perkins, one of the new residents of Wise Acres Retirement Center. Gathering during regular Mahjong games, the clan share their ideas and theories, while staying under the radar from the facility staff and the police inspector.

Their search for clues takes them downtown on shopping excursions and a memorial service, into the centers garden to disprove the first suspects guilt, and even room-to-room in search of a deadly butcher block knife.

The perfect read for a lazy afternoon or two, The Mahjong Murder Club illustrates senior citizens as active, curious, and insightful, breaking old, false molds of mature adulthood. In a world crowded with the usual suspectsyoung, nubile heroines and villains, brilliant detectives, and ruthless murderers, its refreshing to ponder the idea that boomers, marching into retirement, might still have life and purpose in their tired old bones.

How refreshing!

I bought this game as a present for my 70 year old mother.  She enjoys it, but she had to fight me and my teenage niece and nephew for a turn with the DS.  We had fun trying to solve the cases faster than each other, and every time the case is just a bit different.

Juxtabo is a colorful stacking game that combines skills from chess, checkers, and puzzle games. To play, set up a game board by randomly arranging Juxtabo pieces in a square. Each player then draws seven pieces and two challenge cards. The object of the game is to identify color patterns on the board that match the patterns on the cards. Players can change the colors of the pieces on the board by stacking like-colors. When you spot a pattern on the board, shout "Juxtabo" and claim the card. You can set up the board in 4 by 4, 5 by 5, or 6 by 6 configurations and look for either three-dot or four-dot patterns. The game currently costs $29.99.

Recommended for kids ages 6 and older, Juxtabo is my second favorite game that I received from Funnybone Toys. The game requires a combination of critical thinking skills and luck. My daughter is still a bit too young to fully understand the game, but my husband and I already love playing with her. Juxtabo is easy to set up and requires only a flat surface. I love that you have to think ahead to create color patterns on the board. My toddler son loves playing with the double-sided color pieces, and I am excited to continue sharing this entertaining and educational game with my children for years to come!

I received a copy of Juxtabo in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is fun game for people who like 3D puzzles in real-time, and I'm also pleased with how well it works as a puzzle.  It works like this - you have a board with 7 round spaces on it (a circle of 6, with one more in the middle) and rows around it for storing three each of five different colors of spheres.  The player boards are a heavy, thick cardboard, and - clever bit here - they are held up off the ground slightly by three thick foam circles that you put on the back of each board.  I was a little concerned that a cardboard playing area would not hold up well for a real-time game, but this is so sturdy that unless you have a fairly destructive kid, it should be fine.  Yes, a determined person could bend the board and ruin it, and make sure the kids don't leave it on the sofa and sit on it.  But a minimal attention to care should let these last a good long time.  The spheres are exceptional quality - heavy plastic, heavy enough that I'm reasonably sure they are solid through and through, and the surface is lightly textured so the spheres don't slide around on each other.  Which is good, because in this game you have about a minute to build a sort-of pyramid with 7 spheres on the base, 3 in the middle, and one on top.  Where the game comes in is, you also have six cards in front of you that show the parameters for your pyramid - qualities like the blue spheres can't touch other blue spheres, or there have to be exactly 2 orange spheres, or the green spheres are only allowed to be on the top level.  There's a huge deck of these qualities, and with six in each game, the replayability is really high.  Sometimes the cards contradict since you are drawing randomly - there's a point system for how many of the qualities you can solve for with a given pyramid, so you can either accept that you can't get ALL the possible points sometimes, or you can toss the contradictory card and draw another - there are PLENTY in the deck.

Now, my nine year old son LOVES puzzles, but doesn't like to be timed, so he's just been drawing cards and working out a solution, starting with four cards at a time, and working his way up.  So, even if you don't care for the timed aspect and just like spatial puzzles, I'd highly recommend this, you can absolutely play it just as well as a spatial puzzle.  Enjoy!!

The item was delivered quickly in excellent condition.  The carrying case is nice and the tiles are sturdy.  The boards that hold the tiles are plastic and over time may crack or break.  The instructions that come with the set are quite funny--they encourage you to contact the company with suggestions, yet there is nothing on the instructions or anywhere on the game to indicate who makes the game or how to contact them. Cheers!  The game is great fun and quite addicting.  Even though it says it is for ages 10+ kids 7+ seem to enjoy it and are as good as some adults.

I do not think I will ever tire of enjoying this game. It is fun to buy games, but they often just sit on the shelf. I will return to the blue velour backgammon case whenever I can. It is very silly and wonderful.

Very good game purchase that will keep you on your toes as you make the witness's squeal. Lots of plot twist right when you thought you won the case.

Love the mahjongg game as I am playing with eight other women and they have ordered sets from Amazon.com also.

This is a fun game for my husband and I to play by ourselves.  Most of our board games involve more than two people, so it is always nice to find something just the two of us can play.  This is a visual game where you use "shapes"  to fill in the blanks on your card that is in play at the time.  Whoever finishes first gets gems and by the end of the game, whoever has the most value in gems, wins.  It is quite fun and is sort of like Tetris but on a game board level.

The object of this game is to fit all four game pieces on the card so that the tracks on the card are covered.  What makes this game particularly tricky is that the game pieces will also cover sections of the card that DON'T have tracks, but that doesn't matter, as long as all of the tracks are covered.  My kids have had fun with this game, and have played it cooperatively, "no, try this," helping each other to solve the puzzle.  My four year old could solve 3 of the 5 beginning cards independently, but needed help for the others.  My eight year old was challenged by the more advanced cards.

Visually it is an appealing game too, the game pieces are bright and textured and the cards have soft yellow and green hues.

I do wish the solutions had been printed on the back of the cards, rather than in a separate booklet, and I also would have liked to see more than 20 cards (only 5 are beginner), but overall I am happy with this purchase.  Maybe I can make a few more cards for them - or, even better, have the kids make their OWN cards for each other...

Acquired an old set of mahjongg tiles but no case or racks. Your case and racks are a perfect new home for them. Shipping was super fast.

Im pretty sure pirates played this game. Its a bluffing game, couldn't be simpler to learn, but involves poker-like strategy. So fun!

Purchased this after learning mahjong this summer...the quality of this set is great!  The case is sturdy, lined and attractive.  The tiles are nice and big, well made and easily storable.  The pushers are plastic, but colorful and a nice quality.  Overall great purchase!
