The Merry Christmas Starter Kit is a complete table in one bag: the full 160 tile Merry Christmas set, four clear racks with pushers, chips, a wind indicator, dice and a how-to-play manual, packed in a quilted carrying set with a zippered pouch for the tiles and a drawstring sleeve for the racks. Nothing else to buy before the first game.
Merry Christmas is the holiday set, told through The Nutcracker. The dots are glass ornaments, the bams are stacks of wrapped presents, and the craks are gingerbread houses. The winds are dancers from the ballet, the dragons are the Mouse King and the Nutcracker himself, and the jokers are a wreath, a Christmas tree, a sleigh, a rocking horse, the Sugar Plum Fairy and a stocking. The backs are teal and white candy stripes over green layered edges, so a wall of tiles looks wrapped for the season. Bring it out after Thanksgiving and the table feels like December.
