How many dice should there be in Mah Jong?

I bought a game of Mah Jong from a car boot sale. There are 144 tiles, 3 ordinary dice and a wind indicator dice in a plastic holder. Is this all there should be, or is there anything missing?|||We play with two dice and the wind die!

You won't be able to play "American" rules because that set does not have the jokers. (which makes the tile count 152). Don't worry, there are plenty of versions that are played without jokers. (We play HKOS).|||There are quite a few books you can buy on Amazon that tell the rules of Mahjong. It is a great game, enjoy.|||none|||For actual gameplay by the rules I've learned here in China, one is enough and even that may not be truly required.





However, think of Mah Jong as a Deck of Cards, rather than a hard and fast game. There are many different games and variations that can be played, and some may require more dice.





However, I used to sell MahJong and the number of dice even in new copies varies - from 0 - 4, so 3 is a pretty good hit rate.
