Product Description

Pai Gow was invented in China over a thousand years ago, and is probably the most ancient game played in casinos across America and Asia. It's similar to a card game, except that tiles are used in place of cards. The name means "make nine." The heavy tiles that come with this set are jet black and paired with a beautiful felt lined wood carrying case that would be at home in the VIP room of a fine casino.

Chinese Pai Gow Game Set with Black Tiles
A beautifully crafted set of dominoes with 2 chinese dice (not quite as good quality) in a handsome wooden case. Overall an excellent product which, with a little searching on the net for rules, has introduced me to a whole new world/culture of domino games (mostly heavily betting orientated). Certainly gets the brain-cells going on a little basic arithmetic - and that is before you start the betting!
