Review: In my opinion, the game is more fitted for children due to the illustrations on the tiles. To my surprise, the tiles were not flimsy at all, which was a plus point. However, the tiles were simply too thin which makes them easily bendable. For its price, you definitely cannot expect the quality to be that of normal Mahjong set tiles. But, I still find the product a little too expensive. In general, the board game is easy to set up and it is an interesting variation of Mahjong. Thus, after evaluating my reasonings, I will only go as far as purchasing Animal Mah-Jong as a collectible item. Nonetheless, do support Animal Mah-Jong if you like it.
