Racks were an American addition, credited to the man who brought the rules over, and Chinese players do not use them. Pushers shove the wall toward the center, and large tiles need racks of 19 inches or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card is what truly sets this game apart. No other form of mahjong requires one, and it changes yearly. One school now warns of counterfeits. Beware guides quoting 144 tiles, too. That is a different game.
