OffTopic > I can't find a mahjong set with some tiles transparent!!?!?!

I can't find a Japanese mahjong set with 3 tiles transparent and 1 opaque, out of each 4 tiles in the set. I saw a picture before but now I don't know where to purchase it from? I searched for long time and I still can't find it! Can you please tell me?

I found some set of small transparent mahjong tiles, but can it be made some opaque, easily?

Interesting. So do you play the game the same way with the transparent tiles? Sounds like a fun variant since everyone has more information on which to base their play.

Yes, generally. But I also write my own rules called Extended Washizu Mahjong which is a more complicated set of rules to play with the tiles that some of them are transparent and some opaque.

But, would you bet your life on a game like this?

Extended Washizu Mahjong? Sounds interesting. Did you search on different stores online like ebay?
