Oh, and for those interested, a nice read about HAL and Shanghai:

    Honestly, I'd assume $50 at absolute most. That'd have to be a really good copy too. Shanghai is a cheaper game for the system and since it's Mahjong, not many people have fond memories of it.



    Honestly, if I saw one for more than $10, I'd debate getting it. This would be an item I'd want to flip/trade and typically I don't like to buy stuff like that unless I can double my investment. I'm sure you could get $20 for, probably even $40 but I don't know how many people are looking for this game. That's the main thing. Someone might be willing to pay $50, maybe even much more than that if they've patiently been waiting for this game for their complete set but that's a gamble. There aren't going to be many people looking for this one.

    Ok thanks, but its got nothing to do with mahjong.

    It just doesnt seem to be that common in vgc and cib, so i was wondering.

    Super mario land is a common game id say, its all over the place on ebay cib

    The fact that shanghai was a very early game, and only released in the US (not europe), i guess they didnt print many copies.

    You sure about that? Looks like mahjong to me.

    Yes I'm sure. Shanghai is to mahjong what solitaire is to poker (sort of). It's OK, 99% of people in the West think that Shanghai/Yakuman is actual mahjong.



    Get a glimpse of the general rules here, but know that there are different rules, mostly related to different regions (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan...).



    Sorry for sounding like a teacher -- I'm just here for a price check

    Agreed, $50 max and probably more like $30-$40.

    Very common misconception. Shanghai uses a lot of the same tiles as Mahjong, but completely different rules and gameplay.
