0xMahjong is the generational collection of Mahjong Meta and the starting project of Janshi Club Collections. 1500 by 0xMahjong displays 144 different traditional Mahjong pieces and 6 sides of dice in modern design, reflecting the original spirit and cultural signatures of the Mahjong game.

Mahjong Meta promises that all issued Pass NFTs are free to create. Various Free to Play modules have also been set up in the game.

Brice Vong, the main planner of Mahjong Meta and co-founder of Rolling Dice Labs, has many years of investment experience in the entertainment and gaming industries at Tencent Games and other investment institutions.

“The reason for choosing Mahjong as the first product of Rolling Dice Labs is that the team believes that Mahjong, a game based on strategy and probability, has a natural beauty in mathematics. The fun of strategy, social interaction, deduction and cultural symbols have been tested in time, said Vong. “Mahjong Meta aims to create a blockchain-based Riichi Mahjong esports community and mahjong theme park built together with players, supported by blockchain-based asset verification and ownership economy, following the philosophy of Play to Own & Skill to Earn” adds he to.

In Mahjong Meta, global mahjong enthusiasts will be able to prove their skills through various modes such as ranking matches, tournaments, championships, etc. Under a performance-oriented mechanism, they can also receive various rewards such as NFTs, season bonuses, competition bonuses, management currency pool, etc.

Mahjong Meta’s newly original Tama Master game combines the mathematical logic of Mahjong with customized AI strategic thinking, allowing different NFT skill card combinations to reflect each player’s understanding of mahjong strategies and tactics, and conducting automatic mahjong matches to verify effectiveness to strategies. Tama Master is a new derivative game of Mahjong with a lower threshold for participation, less time required and more efficient competition.

In current tests, it has been well received by non-East Asian traditional mahjong players. In the future, there will be various derivative innovative games in Mahjong Meta, including Mahjong Challenge matches, Mahjong Battle Royal and Duet Battles, which fulfill the goal of creating a Mahjong culture blockchain theme park.

Mahjong Meta is expected to officially start services in the summer of 2023. Currently, users can directly enter the game for BETA testing on the official website MJMETA.IO.
