Text Mahjong (Word Mahjong)3D Printing Model Copy-Traditional Table Game + Children's Teaching Double Attributes
As both love traditional culture and indulge in 3D printing enthusiasts, I have always wanted to put the "text of the warm" "board game lively" and "teaching ingenuity" together. Compared with complex patterns, simple single-character card faces have more flavor. Elders can recognize, young people can play, children can learn, and they can hide some small eggs. This is my first intention to make this mahjong set.✍️🀄
✨Text Mahjong · Hidden Double Fun🌟
-The rules of traditional mahjong, the ingenuity of new words
📖About this Project · Slowly Polished Love
I always feel that the characters have their own temperature. This mahjong set does not add any extra patterns throughout the whole process, and depends on single characters to support the scene. According to the "subject, predicate and object" points: the bobbin is people and things, the sliver is action, the word is object emotion, those who understand grammar can gather together to hide high, those who do not understand can recognize cards according to the old rules, children can also read words through the card face-it does not affect the play at all, elders do not have to rub cards, young people can find colored eggs, children can learn while playing, and truly realize the old and salty!
✍Design ingenuity, fun and easy to understand
The playing method is exactly the same as that of traditional mahjong, with some small details of words added, which is nostalgic and fresh.🎨The whole process depends on words to recognize colors, do not need to remember complicated marks, and get started very quickly.
- Color classification-by word recognition: bobbin = person/object/scene (such as "mountain, bird, me"), sliver = action/state (such as "look, love, smile"), million words = thing/emotion (such as "month, dream, wind"), wind Arrow is only a connection word type text (such as "and, what, cause, edge, reason, reason, however"), a total of 32, no repeated words, no wind, wrigley attributes. You don't need to remember symbols, you can know what kind of words you belong to. My mother didn't admit it for the first time, and children can quickly recognize it.
- Hidden Easter Egg-Subject-predicate -guest high-fan: Friends who know some grammar can unlock the "Subject-predicate-object quanshun"-three groups of straight (such as "Mountain → Love → Month") that can be connected together can add a high number of times. Children can be simplified into a word-making game, using different colors to make up complete words, do not understand the rules can also have fun, but also can accumulate vocabulary.
- Semantic order, gathering cards is more interesting: don't gather numbers together, just follow the meaning! For example, "I → you → him" and "wind → rain → snow", friends always like to come up with "strange sentences" when playing, while children can deepen their understanding of words through semantic progression, which is much more interesting than simply spelling numbers and rote memorization.
- Teaching attribute: learning while playing is not boring: the commonly used basic Chinese characters are specially selected, and the characters on the card surface are clear and eye-catching, which is suitable for children's literacy needs. Referring to the teaching logic of Chinese character mahjong, we design exclusive children's playing methods, taking into account both interest and knowledge, so that children can naturally understand Chinese characters and learn to form words in the interaction of table games, thus getting rid of the boring feeling of traditional literacy.
I also made three small cards: one is a semantic progressive reference (for fear of newcomer cards), one is a hidden Hu Fa explanation (for friends who want to unlock eggs), and the other is a children's teaching guide (marked with literacy and word formation methods), which is printed out and put on the table. The first time you play, you don't panic. Children can get started with the guide.📄
🀄Supporting three modes of Hu card form, tradition + egg + teaching
The core of Hu cards follows the traditional mahjong logic: 14 cards form "4 sets of engraved/straight +1 pair of general cards" (the formula can be understood as m * AAA + n * ABC + DD,m + n = 4,m, n≥ 0). On this basis, the exclusive Hu method is designed in combination with the text attributes, taking into account the public play and text interest. The definition of the four elements is unified: engraving (3 pieces of independent words of the same color, no semantic requirement), shunzi (3 pieces of independent words of the same color semantic progression), pair (2 cards, 1 piece +1 flower when only used as cards, not separately combined), bar card (4 pieces of independent words of the same color and artistic conception, flower cards cannot participate, and conform to the semantic ingenuity of the words).
▫Basic Universal Hufa (everyone can play, no text threshold)
It is exactly the same as ordinary mahjong. You don't have to struggle with the text attributes. You can group it according to the card face colors. Elders can get started quickly:
- Ping Hu: the most basic Hu method, no special color combination, only meets the core Hu card structure (4 groups of engraved/straight +1 pair of general cards, a total of 14 cards), suitable for beginners to get started, with the lowest number of times.
- Mixed colors: hand cards are composed of 1 kind of color (tube/bar/ten thousand) + wind arrow conjunctions. it is low in difficulty and high in cost performance. it is the most easy advanced Hu method to play in daily life.
- All hands are of the same color (full tube/full strip/full ten thousand), wind arrows cannot be classified as all colors (according to the traditional color logic, wind arrows are independent functional cards and non-core three colors), with high number of times and full sense of achievement-my friend was all of the same color for the first time and was so excited to rub three hands in a row.😆
- Seven pairs: special Hu fa, no need to carve/shunzi, gather together 7 pairs (each pair can only have 1 article +1 flower, because the single word is unique, two articles cannot be used in pairs), luck and strength coexist, and the number of times is higher than that of mixed colors.
- Blossom on the bar: After using 4 independent character cards of the same color to form a bar card, touch the card to complete the structure of the Hu card (traditional flower cards cannot form a bar card, and the rules are clearly defined here), with a "Tianhu"-like surprise, which can be superimposed with other Hu methods.
- Broken Wind Arrow: There is no wind arrow conjunctions in the hand. It is only composed of barrel/bar/ten thousand colors. The cards are flexible and suitable for fast-paced matches. The number of times is equal to that of mixed colors.
▫High-level general Hu fa (national standard classic, master advanced)
Keep the high-difficulty competition Hu method set by the matching text in the national standard mahjong, which is suitable for players who pursue challenges. The number of times is high and the difficulty is high. Hu is a god. I haven't had a four bar yet.😂
- Four bars (18 bachelor's degrees): the traditional rule is "4 bars (4 cards of the same suit in each group, and the flower cards cannot form a bar card). without additional cards, it is a 16-card Hu card structure". the matching single character is unique and the semantic ingenuity setting is adjusted to: 4 groups of 4 cards of the same suit and 4 cards of independent characters of the same artistic conception form a bar card (16 in total), you don't need to make up your cards to make up your cards. It's a great test of patience and luck. Examples: the bar card "mountain, peak, ridge, cliff" (tube, natural scenery with artistic conception), "see, look, view, look" (bar, view action with artistic conception), "wind, rain, snow, dew" (million, natural weather with artistic conception), "and, and, and" (wind arrow, conjunction with artistic conception), no word repetition, fit the traditional rules and text semantic design.
- The word color is the same: the hand cards are all wind arrow conjunctions, matched with flower cards (only 1 article +1 flower combination), without any tube/bar/ten thousand flower colors, and the number of times is higher than all colors, which is the ultimate goal of wind arrow lovers. Example: engraved "and, and, and, and, and" "or, suppression, not", straight "because, by, edge", will card "even + bamboo (flower)", 3 engraved +1 shun = 4 groups, no single word repetition, flower card only fill the card, compliance and fit the text setting.
▫The text is exclusive to Hu Fa (egg + teaching dual mode, those who understand it are more interesting, and scholars have harvest)
Relying on the character attribute design of subject, predicate and object, it does not affect the basic playing method, and is suitable for friends who like to dig out details after unlocking. At the same time, it is simplified as children's teaching method, allowing children to read and form words in interaction, giving consideration to entertainment and education:
- Subject-predicate bin quanshun (core egg): gather together three groups of semantically coherent straight lines of cylinder (person/object/scene), strip (action) and ten thousand (object/emotion), double the number of dark cards (equivalent to the big four happy), and the number of bright cards and Hu fans is the same as all, which is the soul play of character mahjong. Examples: "I, you, him" (tube, subject), "see, look, view" (article, action), "moon, star, sunrise" (ten thousand, things), carved "cloud, fog, dew" (tube, independent without repetition), will card "love + plum (flower)" (1 article +1 flower),3 Shun +1 Shun = 4 Groups, Semantic Coherence Triggers Egg.
- The text is continuous: the hand contains 3 groups or more of the same color semantic progressive straight, no color limit, the number of times is lower than all, suitable for the middle transition Hu card. Example (Wan Zi): "Wind, Rain, Snow" "Light, Yang, Sunrise" "Dream, Thinking, Nian" (3 Shun 9 independent words), engraved "Bird, Beast, Fish" (tube, independent), will card "I + Bamboo (Flower)" (1 text +1 flower),3 Shun +1 moment = 4 groups, no word repetition.
- Subject, predicate and object three carvings (extended colored eggs): gather together three groups of semantically related carvings of cylinder, strip and ten thousand, without the need for smooth connection, the semantics are smooth, and the number of times and the mixed color are superimposed. Examples: carved "mountain, peak, ridge" (tube), "love, joy, admiration" (article), "moon, star, sunrise" (ten thousand), straight "you, he, he" (tube, independent), will card "and + chrysanthemum (flower)" (1 text +1 flower),3 carved +1 shun = 4 groups, no text overlap, semantic echo triggers the egg.
- Text slam: the hand card contains 5 or more groups of semantic progressive straight, across the tube, bar, ten thousand arbitrary colors, semantics can be coherent into short sentences, the number of times is higher than all colors. Examples: "I, you, him" (tube), "see, look, view" (article), "wind, rain, snow" (ten thousand), "light, yang, sunrise" (ten thousand), "cry, laugh, joy" (article)(5 Shun 15 independent text), engraved "cloud, fog, dew" (tube), the card "dream + winter (flower)" (1+1 flower), adjusted to 4+1=4 groups, semantic coherence into a sentence, no word repetition.
- The font library is homologous (characteristic egg): gather together one group of cylinder, strip and ten thousand each with the same theme, the three groups have the same semantic origin, and the number of times is the same as that of subject and predicate bin quanshun (Ming pai). Examples (natural theme): Shunzi "mountain, peak, ridge" (tube), "see, look, overlook" (bar), "wind, cloud, thunder" (ten thousand), carved "bird, beast, fish" (tube, independent), will card "rain + spring (flower)" (1 article +1 flower),3 Shun +1 moment = 4 groups, no duplicate card type, theme homologous trigger egg.
- Children's Literacy Word Group (Teaching Play): Simplified rules are specially designed for children. You don't need to gather up 14 cards. After touching the cards, you can score points by forming words with words in your hand. The more words you group, the more smooth the semantics, the higher the score. If you reach the specified score first, you will win. Example: with "mountain" (tube) + "see" (article) to form "see the mountain", with "month" (million) + "love" (article) to form "love month", with flower cards can replace any text to complete the words, reduce the difficulty of children playing cards, while exercising the ability to group words.
▫Hu Pai Fan Number Reference and Priority (Clear Settlement, No Tangle)
In order to avoid quarrelling with each other during the match, I graded all Hu methods according to the number of times and marked them on the hidden Hu method explanation card. the priority is: word exclusive egg> high-level general> basic general, with clear superposition rules:
- Top level (12-20 times): word color, four bars, subject, predicate and guest quanshun (self-touch), can not be superimposed, Hu out is to lock the victory, for the highest level of the game.
- High-level (6-10 times): all-color, subject-predicate-object quanshun (Ming brand), word library homologous, can be superimposed with the bar flowering (additional +2 times).
- Basic times (2-4 times): mixed color, broken wind arrow, seven pairs, text beads, subject, predicate and object three quarters, which can be superimposed on each other (up to 2 kinds, such as mixed color + flowering on the bar).
- Characteristic explanation: the font library is homologous to the high-order font, which is equal to the number of the subject-predicate-object quanshun (Ming pai), and can be superimposed with the flowers on the bar, strengthening the core position of the exclusive play of characters.
- Beginner-level (1 time): Pinghu, which only meets the basic structure and cannot be superimposed with other basic systems, is suitable for novice transition.
5. examples of actual combat Hu cards (100% matching font, for direct reference)
Example 1: Basic Ping Hu (No Subject, Predicate Guest, Beginner)
- Carving 1: I (cylinder), I (cylinder), Yu (cylinder) (same color cylinder carving, 3 independent characters in the word library, no word repetition, in line with the carving rules);
- Carving 2: see (article), listen (article), speak (article) (same color and color strip carving, action text in the font, no repetition);
- Shunzi 1: wind (ten thousand), rain (ten thousand), snow (ten thousand) (same color, ten thousand Shunzi, semantic progressive, matching word library things type text);
- Shunzi 2: and (wind), and (wind), and (wind) (same suit, wind arrow Shunzi, semantic progression, connection class text compliance);
- General card: mountain (tube) + plum (flower)(1 article +1 flower gather together, flower card can be made up, in line with the general card rules);
- Settlement: Ping Hu 1 fan (no hidden Hu method trigger, a total of 14 cards, 4 groups of engraved/straight +1 pair of general cards, structural compliance).
Example 2: all colors (bobbin, advanced Hu method)
- Carving 1: flower (tube), grass (tube), wood (tube) (same color and color bobbin carving, character type in character library, no overlap);
- Carving 2: bird (barrel), beast (barrel), fish (barrel) (same color barrel carving, animal characters in the word library, independent and not repeated);
- Shunzi 1: mountain (barrel), peak (barrel), ridge (barrel) (same color bobbin Shunzi, semantic progressive, fitting bobbin subject attribute);
- Shunzi 2: sky (tube), ground (tube), dome (tube) (same color and color bobbin Shunzi, semantic progressive, all are scene characters in the word library);
- Will card: stone (tube) + blue (flower)(1 text +1 flower will replace the "beast" repeated with engraved 2, the flower card is only used as a complement, no word repetition, fit the pair rules and traditional will card logic);
- Settlement: all 6 times (hand cards are all bobbin colors, no other colors are mixed, no hidden Hu fa trigger).
Example 3: Hide the Hu method "subject-predicate-object quanshun" (superimposed flat Hu, high fan egg)
- Basic Hu card structure (Pinghu 1 fan): Shunzi 1: mountain (barrel), peak (barrel), ridge (barrel) (bobbin Shunzi, subject: progressive of mountain, independent characters of scenery in character library);
- Shunzi 2: love (article), hi (article), mu (article) (article shunzi, predicate: progressive love, action type text in the word bank);
- Shunzi 3: month (ten thousand), frost (ten thousand), snow (ten thousand) (ten thousand Shunzi, object: progression of month, words of things in word bank);
- Carving 1: and (wind), and (wind), and (wind) (wind arrow carving, connecting type text, no repetition);
- Will card: plum (flower) + stone (tube)(1 flower +1 text will, correct "mountain" and straight 1 repeat problem, fit the traditional will card logic, flower card complement compliance, no word repeat).
Hide Hu method trigger: to meet the "tube + bar + Wan Shun Zi + semantic collocation", no flower card to replace the core text card, only use the flower card to fill the card, completely fit the subject, predicate and object setting;
Settlement: the main predicate bin quanshun (open card) 6 times (top card cannot be superimposed with the basic card, in line with the priority rule).
Example 4: Seven Pair (Special Hufa)
- 7 pairs (14 pairs, each pair is a combination of 1 article and 1 flower, 8 flower cards each use 1 without repetition, and all text cards are independent words without any overlap):
- I (tube) + plum (flower);
- See (bar) + orchid (flower);
- Wind (ten thousand) + bamboo (flower);
- Stone (tube) + chrysanthemum (flower);
- Love (article) + spring (flower);
- Month (ten thousand) + summer (flower);
- and (wind) + autumn (flowers).
- Settlement: seven to four times (the original basis set unified, keep the rules consistent, no hidden Hu law trigger).
6. novice & children's quick start guide (5 minutes)
- Remember the color: according to the character attribute of the card face, the person/object/scene category is bobbin, the action/state category is sliver, the thing/emotion category is Wanzi, the wind arrow is the connecting part of speech, and the flower card is plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in spring, summer, autumn and winter. "The character scene is a tube, the action state is a bar, the emotion of things is ten thousand, and the wind and arrow are all conjunctions". Remember it casually.
- Remember the group: the core rules and examples of the four elements (all are independent words in the word library, no repetition, fit the play setting and semantic thinking):① engraving: 3 independent words of the same color (no semantic requirements), examples "I (tube), I (tube), Yu (tube)", "and (wind), and (wind) 」;② straight: 3 pieces of the same color semantic progressive independent text, such as" wind (ten thousand), rain (ten thousand), snow (ten thousand) "," see (bar), look (bar), view (bar) "; ③ pairs: only for the general card, must be 1 text +1 flower (single word can not be two pairs), examples:" Mountain (tube) + Plum (flower) "" Love (million) + Bamboo (flower) "; ④ Bar card: 4 independent words of the same color and artistic conception (flower card can not be involved, semantic coherence is more consistent with design ingenuity), examples include" mountain (tube), peak (tube), ridge (tube), cliff (tube) "(natural scenery)," wind (ten thousand), rain (ten thousand), snow (ten thousand), dew (ten thousand) "(natural weather). The flower card is only matched with the text complement pair/engraved/straight, and cannot be composed of any element alone.
- Remember Hu cards: the core goal is to gather 14 cards to meet the requirements of "4 sets of engraved cards/straight cards +1 pair of general cards". the general cards must be 1 article +1 flower (the only single word can't gather two pairs, and the flower cards can't be gathered separately). novice players play according to the basic structure first, and then unlock the high level after proficiency.
- Check the number of cards: settle according to the total number of Hu cards. if you don't know how to hide Hu cards, you can ignore them directly. only rub cards according to the basic rules, which will not affect the experience at all. after you advance, you will explore the method of playing with text eggs. All games are performed according to semantic grouping logic, and the rules are unified and unambiguous.
- Children's play method: children can skip the structural requirements of Hu cards, follow the rule of "scoring by touching cards and group words", refer to the common word examples on the teaching guide card, get 1 point for correct group words and 2 points for short sentences. Hua cards can be used as any word complement words, and a total of 5 points is the winner. parents can accompany to play cards and correct the mistakes of group words to realize parent-child interactive teaching.
Supplementary note: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, spring, summer, autumn and winter 8 flower cards are universal complementary cards (each one is unique and cannot be reused). they can only be matched with text cards to form pairs (cards), complementary engraved/straight vacancies (four elements cannot be formed separately), and bar cards (conforming to traditional rules) cannot be formed. Using the card type of flower cards, the number of flowers is halved (except for flowering), avoid over-reliance on universal cards to reduce interest, do not conflict with 144 independent text cards in the whole process, and take into account traditional logic and text play.
All Hu Fa's conversion, priority and superposition rules are clearly marked on the hidden Hu Fa explanation card, and a memorable formula is specially compiled: "high priority calculation, egg bonus, flower card discount of half, bar bonus". A short span of 16 words covers the core rules, so you can't make a mistake when you read the game casually. With the novice's guide, the novice can get started in 5 minutes, and then unlock the high-level and egg playing methods after proficiency. It is not difficult to proceed step by step.
I also added a popular annotation to the formula (printed on the back of the card) to avoid confusion: "high priority calculation" refers to top level> high level> basic level, without repeated superposition; "Egg bonus" means that the number of characters exclusive to Hu fa fan is superimposed separately, and the priority is higher than that of the general Hu fa. "Half of the flower card" makes it clear that the number of flower cards is halved (except for flowering on the bar); "Extra increase in bar opening" is fixed +2 times on the bar, which can superimpose all Hu methods. "font library homologous" hufa has also been synchronized to hufa control quick look-up table, marking topic examples and key points of card gathering, which can be used directly after printing.📝
📦Package List-One Stop
The full set of core accessories have been made for everyone. After printing and matching with the self-provided storage container, you can rub it directly without looking for additional parts:
- 144 standard text mahjong cards +8 flower cards (plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, spring, summer, autumn and winter): 36 tubes, 36 strips and 10,000 pieces each, 28 wind arrows (all connected parts of speech, no repeated words), take into account different play needs.
- A full set of auxiliary accessories: text style chips, chip racks and dice are available, which are unified with mahjong tiles in style. Friends will have a table at a party and the atmosphere will be filled directly.
🧩Print Guide-Novice can handle it
All mahjong tiles and accessories are designed according to "no support". As a novice printer user, I can print directly without debugging complex parameters.🖨Although the number of parts is large, it takes a little patience, but the moment the finished product comes out of the oven, the sense of accomplishment is directly full!
- Note to the first layer: the details of the card face are fine. it is recommended to clean the platform before printing and apply a thin layer of glue (I occasionally slack off without applying or falling off, but it is recommended to operate on the safe side to avoid falling short due to insufficient adhesion of the platform.😆).
- Consumables Reminder: Be sure to look at the estimated usage of slicing software first! The first time I printed it, I cut off the material in the middle. I watched helplessly as I almost finished it. I really scratched my heart and scratched my liver after two days of new consumables.😵💫
- Color suggestion: the core three colors can be distinguished by low saturation retro colors, such as bobbin ink black, sliver vermilion, ten thousand characters stone green, wind arrow with ochre yellow separate typesetting and printing, flower cards can be unified with the color of wind arrow, which is not only easy to distinguish, but also has the charm of text mahjong. PLA consumables will do, good printing is also cheap; It is recommended for children to use PLA consumables without peculiar smell. The edge of the card surface is round and free of burrs to avoid scratching children.
🎨Materials and typesetting-save time and no effort
My whole set is printed with PLA consumables, with high fault tolerance rate, novice is not easy to overturn, and there are many color choices, which feels like retro writing.🌈All models have been arranged for everyone. Each set has a maximum of 3 colors, corresponding to the core 3 colors (cylinder/strip/10,000). Friends with AMS can directly type in batches. Manual color change without AMS is also easy to worry about and do not need to move their positions.
The printing plate is clearly marked: which plate is to be printed on a bobbin, which plate is to be printed on a sliver, and which plate is to be printed on ten thousand characters (corresponding to three colors). Wind arrows and flower cards are to be printed on separate plates. How many plates are to be printed on each plate is to be printed on the plate in turn. It is good to wait for the finished product instead of wasting time on typesetting.
⚖The face structure and feel are comparable to the finished product.
Each card adopts one-piece molding design, no need to split assembly, direct molding after printing. The thickness of the card surface and the radian of the edge are specially optimized, which is similar to the hand feeling of the finished mahjong bought outside. When rubbing the card, it is smooth and does not pinch the hand, and the durability is full. It can be properly stored with the self-provided storage container.🤏
