The Jade Pavilion Starter Kit is a complete table in one bag: the full 160 tile Jade Pavilion 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.
Jade Pavilion is the palace-garden set, painted in fine detail. The dots are golden lotus blossoms, the bams are bamboo in blue-and-white porcelain pots with a hummingbird on the 1 Bam, and the craks are painted lanterns and pavilions with the number in a window. The winds are dancers with fans, the dragons are a red tiger, a green tiger and a lotus frame, and the flowers are eight single blooms from carnation to iris. Every one of the ten jokers is different: a zebra, a leopard, an elephant, a monkey, a koi, and five garden pavilions and fountains. The backs are a green jade marble with lime and green layered edges, so a wall of tiles looks carved from jade.
