Saki 1.5 Mahjong Set Pictures

[Aetheron]

Today I received the Saki 1.5 Set that I purchased from Hirohurl. Here are my impressions and some photos of this awesome set for those of you contemplating picking one up.

Photos!

The tiles have a glossy finish and are medium-weight compared to other tiles I\'ve used. They have bright, almost neon pink backs. The tiles are NOT engraved, but the printed ink on the tiles is very sharp and high-quality. The theme choices for each group of tiles works very well, with the possible exception of Maho on the Chun tiles. (she\'s a minor character, at least so far) Perhaps someone like Ikeda Kana or Ryuumonbuchi Touka would have been a better choice for the Chun? On another note, I guess with this set we\'ll be calling the All Green Yakuman the All Cats & Bunnies Yakuman!

There are actually TWO bonus tiles that you get with this set. First is the special second Red Five of Circles that has been mentioned before. Second is a tile with Saki\'s head in which her eye is emitting lightning as often happened in the last few episodes of the Saki anime. I suppose you could come up with all kinds of cool house rules for this tile for casual play. Photos of both are included in the link above.

Thanks again to Hirohurl for getting ahold of this awesome collector\'s set for me!

Nice nice! I want! At the moment, I\'m tired of using the Chinese set. I\'d be extremely satisfied with the 1.5 OR the 2.0 set!
