Mah Jong Cards

version 3.0 (Canton 3d)

by Gareth J M Saunders

Why Mah Jong Cards?

While traditional Mah Jong tile sets are heavy, and therefore not the most
portable, you can quite conceivably take a pack of Mah Jong cards anywhere.

The Mah Jong Set

This file contains enough cards to produce a full 144 card set, including
seasons, flowers and an extra 8 jokers.

Font Used
I have used, in this version, the commercial Canton and Canton 3D true-type
fonts from www.partae.com (US$49) which produces a clean, simple and
universal design.

Colour Scheme
I have adopted the following colour scheme for cards, which keeps with the
traditional association between the suits and dragons (with thanks to Tom
Sloper):

Bamboo — Green
Dots — Black
Characters — Red
Winds — Blue
Dragons — As Dragon
Seasons — Black
Jokers — Brown

Printing These cards are copyright © 2001-

Use thick card. If the card image shows through the card you can print a 2003 Potting Shed Designs / Gareth J.
disruptive backing image on the reverse side of the card before cutting. An M. Saunders
appropriate image is available in PDF format on my website.
Updated: Friday 21 March 2003
To produce a full set of 144 cards please print pages 2-5 (Bamboos; Dots;
Characters; Winds, Dragons and Jokers) four times each. You need only print www.gareth-and-jane-saunders.co.uk
the Seasons and Flowers once. mj@gareth-and-jane-saunders.co.uk
