Mah Jong is a universally-loved game – enjoyed worldwide.   The first known Mah Jong set likely appeared in the 19th century – probably around 1870.  The game is comprised of 144 tiles depicting calligraphy and symbolism.  The complex rules revolve around drawing and discarding tiles. Today, 4 of the most popular Mah Jong tiles depict the Chinese symbols for the 4 winds – East, West, North & South. The gift set is comprised of 12 individual bars of soap – lightly scented.  Packaged in a retail-ready configuration highlighted with an attractive red ribbon.
