Garden Gate Mahjong table: 128 tiles
A garden gate: two tall pillars joined by an arch across the top. The pillars are the tricky part, because their tiles are stacked above the rest of the table. A large table for a long, quiet game.

How it plays
80 of the 128 tiles sit on the bottom layer, and 48 are stacked above them; the top layer holds 4 tiles. Tiles you can see but cannot pick are underneath others, so the stacks are where the planning is. Every game is dealt so it can be finished, and you have hints, unlimited undo and a shuffle if you get stuck.
