The junk mat might be a little small for tiles that size, but I doubt you'll find much bigger ones. And if you do, it won't fit on a bridge table, even less on most regular tables.

You can also just use whatever piece of fabric as a mat, if you're ok with not having ledges.

But, I would like large pieces for my hands, and older eyes. They don't have to be these competition pieces I mentioned above, but I'd like a decent set, color, quality. I don't want to "upgrade" to better stuff.
What do you like to use and play with?
Here is a picture of the set I play with.
Tiles are 1.5 inches high, 1-3/16 inches long, and 7/8 inches wide.
The ones on the left. Very stable and don't fall over.

Welcome to the forum
Hi or2az,

This was very helpful! You went through a lot of trouble setting this up for me, and I appreciate it very much. The link you posted also was great! I need to hit tag sales, I still have a little spare room in my home that I need to fill! :wink:

Pax,

Gregory

I'm getting an Ideal of what I can do. Thanks.

I've been watching a competition on YouTube, and am stunned of how quick these folks are. I'm glad I can pause.

I'd love to help but my mahjong set was a gift, made of plastic.

And sadly don't know about inches, I'm on the metric system side.

Still, even if I can provide no help, welcome to the forum!
Thanks anyway for replying Ignatius,

Being a citizen of the only country on the planet that doesn't use metric as a standard system - I appreciate your trying anyway.

Be Well,

Greg

Newbie here. Hello everyone. I'm fairly new still and have played on and off. Hope to learn some tips here. Currently I'm playing a steam game called Mahjong Nagomi on the Steam platform.

Hi Hobo and welcome. :) Feel free to start a new thread or browse through all the old threads and resurrect one as required.

I've mainly played on game consoles. I don't think I've played Mahjong Nagomi but the presentation looks pretty nice in screenshots.

How're you getting on with the app and mahjong generally?

Depending on your knowledge/experience, you might find the first couple of links in my signature useful.

Hello! I'm a newbie here, just joined in. I opened Mahjong for myself not long ago. It turned out to be so interesting, so I decided to register here in the hope to gain new knowledge and skills.

Hi legra. Welcome to the forum.

There's lots of information in old threads here - hopefully some interesting or useful - mainly about Japanese/Riichi mahjong.

Rajendra Nagar Escort Service is one of the most dependable options I’ve used recently. The companion assigned to me was kind, mature, and genuinely interested in making the time meaningful. I appreciated her soft-spoken nature and calm approach. The agency ensured seamless communication and total privacy. If someone wants a comfortable and high-quality experience, this service is a great pick.

Some people feel shy booking companionship services online. They say those fears disappear after meeting an Escort In Gurgaon , thanks to the warm and gentle approach. The companions listen attentively and maintain good communication. This creates a calm atmosphere and helps clients enjoy a comfortable and relaxed interaction.
