Their new design which consist of new hues and bright colors with a total different art and for each set, it didn&#8217;t come cheap also which cost between US$325 (S$428) and US$425 (S$559) each.<\/p>\n<p>With netizen all commenting and bashing over the act of the Mahjong Line, on Wednesday, 6 January the Mahjong Line has issued a statement on their Instagram page apologizing for not paying proper tribute to the games&#8217; heritage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35220\" src=\"https:\/\/sg.everydayonsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/xthe-mahjong-line-7.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.PpHxm42Rfe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"986\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35219\" src=\"https:\/\/sg.everydayonsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/xthe-mahjong-line-5.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.OcjwLuDFGH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1134\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35217\" src=\"https:\/\/sg.everydayonsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/xthe-mahjong-line-2.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.xIZLcAw3Rm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"526\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35216\" src=\"https:\/\/sg.everydayonsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/xthe-mahjong-line.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.Eo2JHohV77.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1127\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Mahjong Company gets Flaked For Cultural Appropriation and Apologized When it comes to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":26318,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 -
