Kurzbeschreibung
A simple, fun kit containing a book and 144 cards, based on the traditional Chinese oracle.
Synopsis
Have you ever had questions about your love life, career, health or future happiness? Based on the traditional Chinese oracle, The Fortune Teller's Mah Jongg is a simple and amusing way to make predictions about the future. This pack contains 144 fortune-telling cards in full colour. The accompanying book explains the symbolism of every card and gives instructions on how to use the oracle, including twelve sample readings to show you how to get started. The original oracle, from which the Mah Jongg game evolved, is thousands of years old, but its wisdom is still relevant to our lives today. Now you can use this wisdom to solve your daily dilemmas.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'd been intrigued by this set for years before deciding to hunt it down. My advise is only buy a new copy because the used is often sepearted from the actual cards. There are also two editions it seems, one in paperback and the other hard bound.
The book itself is very readable. Slightly less than 1/4 of it goes over history, symbolism, and the basics of a reading (i.e. the card spread). Each card is given a page of description/meaning often with a note regarding added meanings should it come up in a spread that it naturally aligns with in meanings. The last quarter of the book covers a dozen of real readings. Each case goes over the querrents questions and how the placement of cards combines for more in depth gleening.
I'm not sure if anyone can say enough about the lovely cards. They are rather small compared to other divination deck, but obviously larger than a mah jongg tile. About 3.5 by 1.75 inches (9 by 4.5 if you use metric). The card stock has been treated with a very light surfacting to aid in their handling. The only thing that one could wish for is that the card stock had been heavier, thicker. I worry about how wear and tear will affect them over time. Once you stack the cards in a deck, it's nearly as tall as the cards are wide since there are 144 of them.
And I simply love the illustration! They are so evocative of the cards name, such as duck, carp, tortoise, willow. They do not depart from what you expect of age chinese art, either in the landscapes, trees, or people garbed in historical wear. All the flavor of china is there. A small key is on the right of every card with thier number, the original tile, the chinese character, and page number if you need to check the book. There are 3 blank cards included as well for creating a replacement if a couple get lost.
If you have any interest (be it curiosity or your interest in divination) you should order now that you've found it. Otherwise you will be like me and regret missing the chance and hunting it down at a later date

Finally!

I have been looking for these cards for 8 years. I never knew the name of them until today! I used to go to an amazing psychic in North Yorkshire, England who read exclusively with these cards, and her readings were the most accurate of any that I ever had. She didn't know the name of them, and I've wanted them ever since!
I no longer live in the UK, and have missed those readings - now I can learn them for myself!
These are a must have for anyone interested in oracles or tarot...I am really excited that I've finally found them!

For those who love tarot

we have dozens of tarot and other fortune telling decks...
dear Diviners,
... and while this is not a tarot deck, having 144 cards, most of which are repeated four times, it is a wonderful oracular system. We love it and the repeated cards help one see connections from one quadrant of the reading to another. Please note that the way the author suggests one lay the cards out is the reverse of the system for elemental arrangement outlined in the appendices to the The I Ching or Book of Changes, so don't be afraid to modify the system to suit your needs. We use this oracle regularly and have found it very effective and suggestive.
