used to like playing that. Only ever played it on the PC ,but wouldnt mind a "real" set. Having said that I used to like playing chess and I never get time for that now so would probably be a waste of money :-/

At 5 or 6 years old i was tried on chess. It was too deep then & would be (for me) now as with cricket, Genesis, being married....terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired, i'm shallow, can't even sit through a movie but for some reason at the same age i took to Mah Jong like a duck to the proverbial. Hav'nt played since i was 9 or 10 so nearly 40yrs. I remember the playing field being set up in a square & some of the symbols but not much else although i noticed some of the sets on ebay did'nt include counting sticks for scoring?
   Any advice would be appreciated. Guy.

Get back into it.  Great game - but just play with one set of rules and leave them out at hand.

That "vintage" set (is it really?) is too steep for me.
We seem to have mis-placed the 'family' set along the way, like no one in the family can find it!  IIRC that may have been Jap rules anyway.
