I have a set of Chinese Mahjong in white with green backs. Where could I find matching tiles to use as jokers?

I am really sorry but I have not a clue - maybe Ebay - I have seen old Chinese ones there but that was awhile ago - good luck

The National Mah Jongg League assists people with replacement / matching tiles. Look at their website for additional information. I hope this is helpful, happy playing. Nancy

I wish I could help you, but my suggestion would be to contact the Mah Jongg League or look at the different dealers on the internet.

I'd say no on using the racks for holding playing cards as the grooves are too wide to accommodate narrow cards. I play canasta but wouldn't use the racks for holding even that many cards. I don't know anything about Mah Jongg.

I'm afraid I don't recall what the case was made from. What I do remember is that it was the same type of material as a previous game I gave my folks many years ago and it lasted for years until my mom moved after my dad's passing and the game somehow did not make the move. I was also impressed the ivory colored tiles are just as beautifully done as they were 20 years ago. I bought the new game for my mom to replace the old one lost in the move -- she was absolutely ecstatic with it, saying it was just as good as the first one! If you enjoy Mahjong, you won't go wrong purchasing this set -- it's worth a lot more than what you're paying. Joni I'm afraid I don't recall what the case was made from.

You are looking for a Rummy game. We have s couple but restock has not yet arrived at Amazon. You should search using Rummy tile. Rummikub is a different game. Dave Boardgames 4 Us

It's rather difficult to compare, but I can tell you that the tiles in the set I purchased (Western Mah Jong in burgundy bag) are a bit smaller than the full size tiles that my friends have in their traditional Chinese sets. With that said though, I actually prefer this size as it fits well on my comparatively small kitchen table, which is where the set normally gets used.

I found them on Amazon too....they are $5.00. I just typed in Chinese Checkers pegs. Unfortunately some of them are a little too big but when I need to use one I will carve it down a little. The pegs are nice an sturdy though.....I just wish they were a little smaller on the bottom.

Use a permanent market and color in the colors he can see.....it is a great game and hope you can select a color suitable.....it will take a few minutes to color all the tiles but worth the enjoyment in the end!!

Hi. There are 160 white tiles, two extra joker tiles, and four extra blank tiles. The chips are green, blue, red, yellow and white. Twenty of each. Three small dice.

I use the mat for a tile game, Mah Jong. I think the mat would work similarly for cards. The mat adds friction allowing you to get a better grasp of the tile/card. Actually there are two different surfaces and you could test which side is best.

It looks the same as the rummikub game I've played. Very nice tiles and a nice case.

The tiles are the standard mah jongg size as listed in other answers below. I have played with many different sets over the years and the tiles all come in a standard size. The material they are made of may be different. These are an off white color. Very new, colorful character designs.

There were none. I bought a book on mahjong itself to use it. its also confusing because the Chinese symbols are mixed in and there should have been some explanation on that. I have two strategy books on mahjong that I bought and used before the cards.

I don't know where to get replacement tiles, however, perhaps there is an address you can google on the instruction page. They might be able to help you.

For an exact match of the Golden Select Mediterranean Fusion tile go to http://www.southshoreflooring.com/glass-tile-and-stone-random-strip-mosaic-backsplash-2.html. How do I know it is an exact match? I took a big chance and purchased two boxes to finish out my kitchen and I happened to hit the jackpot. The tiles I linked above must be made by the same Chinese manufacturer that made Golden Select

We were not able to locate any instructions. As stated in the previous reply you need to pull out the Chinese version of cards. We thought about the game with the tiles and made it work for the cards. You still will hold the 13 cards in your hand and we still build a wall with the other.

First you and your 3 friends will need to purchase a 2014 mah Jongg card. You can do so from the haddasah mah Jongg league. The card game is played the same as American tile mah Jongg with 8 flowers and 8 jokers/ wild cards.
