Making Mahjong Card Game

[iandstanley]

Have you looked at the card set sold from Reach\'s shop mahjongmart.com (currently out of stock but I expect that stock will appear again soon)



contents: 139 Mahjong Cards (including 3 red 5s, one of each suit), 1 Wareme card, 4 Yakitori Cards, 4 Card Holders, 2 Card Cases, Full set of paper scoring sticks and Mahjong explanation in Japanese

Unlike some other mahjong cards that are normal poker size ... these are half size making a rally portable set (at the expense of being problematic in a light wind.

Your red dragon looks good, although the kanji does look a lot like a dagger sticking into the poor dragon´s head! :dry:

Perhaps move the dragon down a little to centre it (the kanji means "centre" so he should be well centred! :laugh:) and make the white border on the kanji a little thicker so it stands out better?

Or just shrink the kanji a little?
And, yeah, "center" ougth to be centred.

For 1 bam, I belive it\'s supposed to be a peacock. But all sets don\'t show a peacock.

Absolutely. In fact, seing the card game got me the idea. But since I\'m a customization freak, and have the knowledge and the tools, I like the idea of creating. :) thanks for flagging though, will give them as gifts if I come to buy them :D

Point taken, will change some stuff.

And a peacock it is. And 7 coins card to show you guys when I make the card as well :D

Hi Guys

My 1 Bam. Couldn\'t find a better pic, but I think it\'s nice :)
Comments welcome.

And here\'s my 1 coin. Will place 7 coin to compare later.
Comments welcome.

Nice coin image, but I wonder if it would look better in the natural metallic colour (bronze?) especially where the traditional tile designs have two or three different colours...?

[alban lusitanae]

What do you mean, leaving the 1 coin natural (yes it\'s bronze / copper coloured) and then the others with mixed colours?

I only made it blue due to the fact that I\'ve always seen coin 2 and coin 3 of the same colour as one.

I\'ll investigate the possibility :)

Not totally happy with the peacock, but I cant find a better pick.

[Barticle]

Of course you´ll need to try it out, but I wondered if all the Coins cards might look better in bronze.

I just thought the blue colour looked a little odd on the coin image.

How about using a photo of a green origami peacock? Would make an interesting Japanese twist.

[Barticle]

I was just wondering - how are you getting on with your project, Alban...?

[Barticle]

...I just noticed the note under your avatar pic!

I guess you have more important things on your mind right now!
(you are literally otherwise engaged - heh!)

Congrats in advance for the 5th, my friend! :):)

[alban lusitanae]

Thanks Barticle. :) :) :)

I\'ll get back to it in due time in a few weeks :)

Been playing nevertheless :laugh:

[alban lusitanae]

I\'m back! :lol:

And I\'m restarting where I left. Pretty messy house changes and stuff. :)

But I\'m getting there into a routine. :)

Cheers

How is married life...?

Hi Guys

It seems that not only my ancient user name is down for good (didn't manage to reset a password here for some reason),
and the posts there are not populating here, I'm starting my user stuff from scratch.

And yes, I am trying to understand how am I going to proceed with the card making, since the MtG card maker I had
was totally destroyed and I don't think there is a way to get it back.

Cheers

Hi Luis, welcome back (once again!). Good to see you back on the forum.

Sorry to hear about your lost data, but at least this thread is preserved.

You wouldn't need any special software for making cards - you could even make a simple template with a table in a word processor. You could probably download a new card maker package though if you wanted?
