What's the difference between the American and the Chinese version?

Please look up a set of rules for each version on your computer. They are considerable different. The Chinese version has similarities to the card game of rummy, while the American version uses a play card of hands that changes each year. I find the American version more challenging and I enjoy it more. Whatever version you prefer to play, spending time with friends is the best feature of the game.

There are actually two different versions of "American MaJongg. The most well known version is the National League version, which uses specific hands listed on the card that you must purchase each year from the National Majongg League. The other, lesser known version is the Wright Patt version which is similar in play and uses a book of hands which must be purchased from the Wright Patt Officers Spouses Mah Jongg group. Their book of hands is good for many years. It is primarily played by Military people or on Military bases.

I only learned the American game based on the National Mah Jongg League Card. The following is from my teacher...The western or American game requires152 pieces: 28 Honors made up of 12 - 4 each dragons(white, green and red) and 16 winds (4 of each). 108 suits bams (36), craks(36) and dots(36), 4 of each numbered 1 -9, 8 each flower (or seasons) and finally 8 jokers. I found that this set of kards has a few extra Honors, seasons and jokers. I just took them out of the box I play with. Hope that helped!

There are around forty known mah-jongg variants - and more than a dozen Chinese variants! Those other variants are not harder to learn than American mah-jongg. American is the hardest to learn of them all. American mah-jongg is hard because you can only play the hands listed on the current year's card (purchased through the National Mah Jongg League). It's quite a challenge to find possibilities for hands from among a random 13 or 14 tiles. Only American mah-jongg uses this annually changing card! All the other forms of mah-jongg are free-form (very much akin to Rummy).

The rules are different and some of the tiles are different. American Mah Jongg uses a card (issued yearly) by the National Mah Jongg League (you can find their website online). I bought a book on Amazon -- A Beginner's Guide to American Mah Jongg -- which provided a good description of American Mah Jongg and good instruction on American Mah Jongg play. The hands in Chinese Mahj are different and the quantities of some of the tiles are different. If you're playing in the US most people are playing American Mahj.

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive from china but I have known that it's manual should be online for the same product here in the US. The only difference between the one from China vs US is the price. I will try to investigate where the manual is located online and will respond back.

The manual and quick install guide are in Chinese, but the included CD has the English software and manuals. The firmware of these is multilanguage, you will not have a problem.

From what I saw in the videos where they have the Japanese version and comparing to the one I have, they are the same.

I own Europe and Asia. My daughter owns the US version. They are both equally fun. The US version has more routes. The Europe version has tunnels and ferries. I would base my decision on which one to get based on who would be playing. The US version, for some, would be easier due to a background in US geography.

yes of course!. It cost $200 more because is Made in Japan, no Made in China. Japan components have high quality. And It have 64Gb built in memory (little hard disk) the US version don't.

Honestly I can´t answer your question. I had to re sell it. Bcs it came in chineese and I tried to change it into English; how ever, It didn´t work properly.

As far as I know, the only difference is the colour and regional settings during set up. The Vita TV also uses the normal Japanese button layout (O for confirm and X for return). Other than that, there's nothing I've noticed that was different.

The US version is made in china, while the international is still made in finland. Personally, I prefer the finland version. It does not make sense to pay $549 for a china made phone. The only downside about buying the finland (international version, is that the warranty is invalid in the US. With that being said, I still prefer the finland made phone.

They are one and the same. Chinese sets do not include enough tiles and they don't use racks... This set for $53.99 at Amazon is the best buy anywhere. You can also add the pushers for $12.95 all with free shipping. It is a great set and worth the price.

I'm in the US. I went with the Asian-made model because it was cheaper than its western counterpart. No difference between the two. I just went back and opened the packaging, and it contains the limited two-year warranty against defects documentation in English.

Here is the response I received from Sennheiser: The product inside the box is the same so the only difference is that the "West" version is what we sell normally here in the US, and it has English as the main language on all materials and on the box. The "East" version has Chinese as the main language on all written materials and is meant for the Eastern markets, but the East versions are being sold at a discount now over here because they have overstock of them at the moment.

As far as I know, there is no difference in molding, color, or anything between the US and Japanese versions.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

Not on this model that I purchased from Amazon. Just American English and Spanish are listed. However, in the packing box there is a phamplet showing Garmin support for the following countries: America, Belgium, Germany, Poland, England, Demark, Italy, Potugal, Canada, Finland, Netherland, Austria, France, Norway and Sweden. But nothing for China.

I'm sorry I have not seen the Japanese version. But based on what I saw on Youtube, they have the same features
