I set out with a goal to create a portable mahjong set that looks good and feels good with the intention of making this product for Gen Z people such as myself.

Why? Because I enjoy playing mahjong and it's not very accessible to play anywhere especially with the size of the tiles and table set up required. Some alternative solutions online include a mini mahjong set that seems cheap and hard to handle and cheap mahjong poker cards with no thought behind it.

So with that, I decided to create a small portable mahjong set that looks good and feels good with a touch of modernization for the Gen Z. After testing and prototyping the cards ended up being 60 x 30 which I felt was just the right size.

The game of mahjong is played like any other normal mahjong game just with cards instead of tiles but with a pinch of design and modernisation made to look good and feel good.

While playing, the cards will be placed on a mahjong card stand that will hold 13 cards while you draw and discard one card every turn to prevent overdrawing of cards.
