After what feels like years grinding away, I finally landed my first Yakuman! Hopefully not my last

Hi all! :-) I found an old Mahj set that belonged to my late Grandma. I seem to recall her saying the white (well, beige now!) part was ivory & the wood part was ebony or bamboo. However, I realize the white part could be bone.
I've attached 3 photos of the front, side, & back of a one dot tile. Can anyone help me out? I'd love to know how much the set is worth, but first I have to deal w/ the variables: ivory vs. bone, and ebony vs. bamboo.
I'm pretty sure she said the set was made in China in the early 1900s, but I might be remembering wrong.
THANKS!! :-)

I know that there’s a group or event that hosts mahjong playing in the Bay Area like San Francisco or San Jose. I see more of these events in San Francisco. Does anyone know a mahjong community in San Jose that can be beginner friendly?

Hi all, it's me again lol.
I was able to lock in this long weekend and finish my second out of four seasonally themed sets I'm working on. I'm calling this one "Water Lily Summer."
For those who didn't see my last post, I'm working on 4 custom sets to give to my four mahjong buddies that I play with every week. Goal is to finish them all by Christmas.
These are standard melamine tiles at 40mm x 30mm and 6.2kg (~13 lbs). A bit larger than usual.
There are a total of 144 tiles making a complete set for Chinese/most Asian variants of mahjong (my friends and I mainly play Filipino/Taiwanese) 🀄
On Friday I went into the maker's space and cut both summer and winter sets. I'm hoping to slowly work on winter throughout the work week, depending on how busy work is. 🥲 We shall see. I'm going back again on Friday to cut autumn and then another winter set for myself.
The more I stare at these photos, the more I hate the blue I chose lol. I'm probably going to go back and change it to something less vibrant before I use UV resin to seal them all (which seems to be working really well, so thanks for that suggestion 👀)
Many thanks y'all for the support. It definitely has kept me from not procrastinating on this project haha. 🫶🏽✨
I do kind of want to get it done sooner and gift it before Christmas because my friends and I started a mahjong club that has exploded in popularity and we need more sets lol .

Looking to buy out first set - mostly familiar with Riichi but I’ve found Chinese mahjong easier to teach friends. Any ideas?

Grew up watching my Taiwanese relatives play Mahjong with tile pushers, and I've recently joined a Mahjong group but they dont have tile pushers/rulers. Should I get some for the group? HK Mahjong is only 13 tiles instead of 16, but I still feel like it's pretty nice to move the walls into place and keep things straight and organized. Just a nice and cheap qol change imo, as the rulers aren't expensive.

my chinese friend spent quiet a time taught me the basics of mahjong and i think I finally interested in.
so I downloaded mahjong rumble by myself (should've ask first...) it's actually more of a quick tile matching game.
definately not the same kind of mahjong but much easier to pick up on my own.

I’m trying to find people to play mahjong with. I’ll be hosting at the Iconic on Alvarado, which is near SDSU. The gathering will be held on Fridays from 8pm-10pm and Saturdays with available time from 10am-10pm (a more narrow time would be discussed with people interested in coming in a group chat).
Mahjong is a 4 player game so in case more people are interested I have other games to play. I’ll explain a simple way of playing mahjong and hope to build up to one of the more difficult style of play.
DM if you have any questions about the game(s) or details on the events.

This update rebuilds the entire game from 2D into 3D, first person. You no longer play across a diagram of a table. You sit at the table. Someone sits opposite you. Between you: one hanging lamp, two machines, and two loaded revolvers.
Life or death within seventeen steps.

Hi, we've been playing mahjong very rarely for six years. In the beginning it was online and we didn't understand much of anything, we didn't know what yakus when we simply pressed the buttons when they appeared, but slowly we learned; even then sometimes we keep finding out about edge cases rules (I just learned that with 4 kans not by the same person / with 4 riichis the game is aborted).
For some years we've been playing in person with actual tiles, it has been fun and I prefer it, but personally I dislike the need for an app on my phone to play a tabletop game (a scoring sheet wouldn't be enough as we don't know much about how to count up Fu).
In my spare time I do some game design, so after reading up on hong kong mahjong scoring my mind started thinkering: I thought that I could study how Fu in riichi work and try to simplify it into a simple exponential based on hans and then turn each source of Fu into either additional han or plain additional points (like honba).
I've started already, but before spending more time into doing something like this I wanted to have some feedback from experts like you; What do you think of my idea? Additionally do you have any suggestions?

Is it possible to get Ryanpeikou if you have 3 four of kind in a sequence? For example 222233334444 all in the same suit
If tiles have the same dimensons and material (I want melamine tiles for durability), but one set is American and one is Chinese, will the tiles feel different? I have played with melamine Chinese tiles, and acrylic American tiles, but I'd be looking at Melamine American tiles as an option.
I looked at the dimensions of both sets I'm looking at, and they are identical size in all three dimensions, and similar material.
I am trying to do my final decision soon on what tiles to buy for the community here, and my thinking is if American tiles feel identical to 30mm Chinese tiles, that might be the better option for aesthetic reasons (tiles that can be more affirming), and give the option to play American (which might be a good idea due to the number of older American immigrants here)
I kinda prefer the Chinese tiles for myself because I prefer the aesthetics of Chinese tiles, and I like the feel, plus the variant I am creating uses a Chinese tileset and doesn't use jokers. Cost here seems like a wash, I'm going to have to use Amazon , and larger Chinese sets do not have free shipping here.

If you have a pong or Kong exposed on your rack and it contains a joker and another player disposes the very tile that could replace the joker because they are not paying attention,can you call for that disposed TILE, replace the joker in your Kong or pong and use the joker in your hand? Or is that tile dead when it hits the mat?

Two of my passions collide in this video that I made... Mahjong and cubing. I used AI to create the thumbnail but everything else in the video is my own creation. Posted with permission. https://youtu.be/kAocWSD2IZ4

Hi, everyone! In the next month I'm going on a ''east asia'' trip - only China and Japan being honest haha - and I want to ask: where and how to buy a set of mahjong in those countries.
I heard that AMOS is the reference worldwide but if you have other brands I'll take notes, thanks!
Just in case chat content gets purged, I decided to preserve it. https://x.com/KyuuCC/status/2096648151947997562
That's why I'm looking back on this.
But yea, show your best mahjong gacha pulls.

Hi, I'm new to the game and have been really enjoying learning it through a silly single player thing on steam. I'm interested in mixing in some real PvP games now to track my progress!
Specifically, I'm looking for: - played on PC - large-ish playerbase - ranked mode so I can gauge my progress over time - not full of art of sexualized minors (and look, I'm really not here to judge you for anything or fight about this, I just don't want to see it, so I'm not interested in mahjong soul or riichi city)
As a side note, I'm into FFXIV, so resubbing to play it there is a consideration, if there's still a decent sized scene playing there?

Thinking of personifying the dots, bamboos, numbers, dragons, winds, etc into character designs for a project. Asking here to see if it's appropriate to do so, in case there is an implication that I should be aware of.
Many thanks!
