Making Mahjong Card Game

[Torgo]

Inkscape is a fine, free drawing package: http://www.inkscape.org/
I used it to make my own (Chinese only) mahjong card deck.

I like to use ImageMagick. (I have used ImageMagick to make a spider tarot deck, but ImageMagick could be used for mahjong as well)

Hello to all

I will certainly try to see those two soft packages, thanks.

Do both support JPG image upload and resizing card, and also multi card print?

The reason I'm asking is:

- I believe I found the JPG database of my cards in an old backup
- I want to make them Magic the gathering size, so people can use the protectors and avoid marked cards due to use and change the protectors when needed.
- I wish to make a full PDF to exchange with people (I have Adobe Writter) with as many cards as possible,
and including markers, yakitori and "money" sticks for easy print!

Cheers

I don't know about Inkscape, but ImageMagick does support both things. (ImageMagick is probably more difficult to use than other softwares though, because you have to learn all of the commands, and it has no GUI, because it is command-line based.)

Hmmmm interesting

I will have to make a real good indepth practice on them

Mind you this is a project i have set up to do (it's a matter of honour now).
I have already requested a Mahjongmart Card Deck to play.
I'm doing this to have the complete monty of possibilities for easy printing further on.

BTW: is the lady of these forums named Jennifer Kuddo?

Unless she got married and neglected to invite us all, she's Jenn Barr.

Does anyone know the vietnamese joker rules?

Just got the package with the cards. The sender had: "Jenn Barr c/o Kudo"
Interesting

I feel less bad about the lack of wedding invitation now!

So, how are the cards? What extras do you get in addition to the standard 136?

[ryulusus]

the cards are very small, which requires careful handling.

They have a nice green small cardboard to pack them, but again careful handling is in order.
You get value sticks, very very small and fragile. 4 chicken sticks and a wareme, and 3 x red fives. Can't remember anything else.

the drawing are nice

basically standard stuff with some extras but they require really careful handling, or you'll be asking for another 2 week sending soon

Hi people

back from holidays, will restart with the pre-plan of the cards,
as in the full list of cards needed and stuff.

Hey Luis. I just found this nice set of custom MJ cards (when I was searching for something else)...

I know you're keen to make your own designs but I thought you might find it informative.

Hi Barticle.

Thanks a lot, I see that other people got involved in doing it as well.

it's basically what I want to do, raised to a higher level. And a more artistic way
I also, as I said, wanted to have them in MtG size, so that they could be printed out
in normal paper and then protected with the MtG (or other) card protection sleeves.

That way one could actually achieve the accolade of shuffling the damn deck in each game
But seriously, I'm compiling a revision of the deck list, since it has grown after Tom's help.

Btw, can we upload files here?

Cheers

It took me a while to find it, but yes there's an Upload Attachment option.

It's on the second tab under the Save / Preview / Submit buttons when you're composing a message.
