The game comes in a 3D-printed book-shaped box :

• The book spine = box lid
• Only the game title appears on the spine, just like a real book
• Identical format across the entire series

All four games can be arranged on a shelf as a visually cohesive collection — your personal library of strategy games.

• 49 tiles (24 white, 24 brown, one start/neutral tile)
• Each color has 6 sets × 4 identical tiles , representing European flags:
• France
• Italy
• Hungary
• Romania
• Denmark
• Switzerland
• 1 dice – key element that adds luck and variation to the game
• 2 trays for all tiles and dice. They fit perfectly in the case
• Case and Spine - fits all components for perfect storage.

All components are designed to fit perfectly inside the book-style box.

• Shuffle all 48 tiles face down
• Each player receives 24 tiles and arranges them in a 6 columns × 4 rows grid (face down)
• The extra neutral tile is placed next to the grid
• Roll the dice – the player with the highest value starts

At the start of the game, colors are not assigned. Here's how they're determined:

• The starting player uses the neutral extra tile to push a column
• The tile that comes out from the top :
• Is flipped face up
• Determines the player's color (white or brown)
• The other player automatically receives the other color

Step 1: Using the freshly revealed tile, the player inserts it at the bottom of any column (player's choice)

• ⚠️ On the first turn, the neutral extra tile is used

Step 2: The column is pushed upward, and the tile that comes out from the top :

• Is flipped face up
• If it's the player's color → stays with them and may trigger a continuation
• If it's the opponent's color → goes to the opponent and the turn ends immediately

⚠️ Important: The tile you push with enters permanently into your grid; the tile that comes out from the top becomes your active tile for the next turn (or your opponent's, if it's their color).

This mechanic makes the game strategic and unpredictable:

• If a revealed tile matches a set already started , the player must push the column where the first tile of that set is located

• The turn ends immediately if the tile revealed is the opponent's color
• Otherwise, the player continues to resolve mandatory chains
• After completing the turn, play passes to the opponent

The player who reveals all tiles of their own color wins!

The game can become intense as it approaches the end – every push counts!

This game is ideal for:

• Players who enjoy the balance between strategy and luck
• Fans of tactical games with an element of surprise
• 3D printing enthusiasts looking for functional and elegant projects
• Collectors interested in modular game series
• Families and friends who want quick and engaging matches

EURO MAHJONG is designed to be:

→ Easy to learn – rules explained in 5 minutes
→ Dynamic and unpredictable – chains create spectacular moments
→ Visually minimalist – clean, European aesthetic
→ Satisfying as a physical object – the pleasure of owning and displaying it

Every match brings a fresh balance between strategic planning and moments of luck that can change everything.
