Dutch get most seats again in European Championship (Riichi, this time)

World of Warcraft Mahjong Set

AMSTERDAM, May, 16th - Chinese internet company and World of Warcraft regional publisher NetEase has made a limited edition ‘World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria’-themed mahjong set.

Each set costs 1,288 renminbi (USD209) and includes a fully playable mahjong game, complete with tiles, table mats featuring WoW game maps, dividers and chips, all in a thematic wooden carrying case. The board’s decals are designed to look like artwork straight out of World of Warcraft, with a color palette reminiscent of that used for structures and environments in Mists of Pandaria.
Only 1000 of these mahjong sets will be made available worldwide, although the set only appears to be sold through the Chinese-based company. Pre-orders are being taken right now. More pictures are shown on the NetEase website (link below).

Henry - All the info you ask, can be found in this website, the site of the European Mahjong Association and the Japanese Mahjong website. And, sorry: there is no prize money to be won.

Sure, Chang Xue also was a new face who did extremely well. Should have mentioned him!

I'd say since Dave came in 3rd, "important role" is a bit of an understatement. You should interview him directly to make up for your oversight.

The comment above was not written by David Bresnick, as he assured me. But since he thought it quite funny, he had no objections against leaving it on the web site.
