Watch as I crack open a shiny new copy of Boba Mahjong, a two-player, card based, Mahjong variant featuring adorable artwork from Holly Chiu.
In this game players work to collect three cards sets and then select one of those three cards to save for end game, set collection based, scoring. It’s cheap, it’s small, and it’s great for date night.

Unboxing Boba Mahjong from Sunrise Tornado Games
From the Publisher:
Boba Mahjong is a 2-player mahjong variant card game using set collection and rummy mechanics. In the game, players create sets of three cards during their turn. After creating a set, the player keeps one of the cards as an ingredient card. When a player has five sets of ingredient cards, the round ends. Players will use the best six ingredients to make their boba drink and collect points based on the freshness, smoothness, complexity, and presentation of their drink. The game will continue for several rounds until a player has 30 or more points, and the player with the most points wins the game!
Deanna and I have had a good time playing Boba Mahjong. It features all of the things we look for in a two player game. It’s highly portable, doesn’t take up a lot of table space, is quick to play, and is filled with interesting decision points.
