Mahjong by thedarkroom

Mahjong

The theme this week is "Games". This is a poignant one for me as this very old Mahjong set belonged to my grandparents who lived in Malaya (as it was then) and bought it home with them when they returned to the UK. It was passed to my dad when my grandparents died. I have many very happy memories of family Mahjong evenings and now my dad has died this set has passed to me. I went and collected it from his soon-to-be-sold apartment today. These tiles are the "Bungas" - the ones that carry the most points in the final reckoning and so are highly prized by the players.

@365anne I know absolutely nothing about this game, but I know what a treasure it must be to have the pieces.

I know we have an active mahjong group in our community, but I have never played. These are beautiful game pieces. Interesting history as well.

I happen to play mahjong, it's a fun and challenging game to say the least. What a lovely heirloom with so much rich history!
