Overview

Majong is a board game that is played throughout many parts of Asia and Southeast Asia with multiple regional and local variants. It is similar to Western card games in that the tiles are divided into suits and numbers. 

As an homage to the long tradition surrounding it and its country of origin, I have made these accessories Chinese-themed. 

Racks

The racks are printed into two separate, interlocking pieces. They can snap together using the built-in pegs, but for additional strength I recommend gluing them together. 

The left hand side of the rack has a sparrow, a reference to the literal meaning of majong ("clattering sparrows"). It gets this name because of the noise the tiles make when they are mixed about. 

On the right hand of the rack is the word 麻将 (majong) above one of a handful of Chinese proverbs/sayings. 

Chips

The yuan (元), jiao (角), and fen (分) are denominations of the official currency of China, the renmenbi (人民币)(abv: “RMB”). Often, the term “yuan” and “RMB” are used interchangeably. 

The yuan is the base unit of currency and is equivalent to 10 jioa and 100 fen. 

For the best appearance, I recommend printing each chip in 2 colors as seen in the attached image.
