@kfreckman 136 and 144 are the configurations for the standard Chinese version; the difference being the choice to include or exclude the flower tiles (as they're not really necessary for gameplay, only extra points). Japanese versions have an extra set of 飛 tiles; European versions sometimes have animal tiles and Americans have added joker tiles.
You'll also notice the size of the tiles vary greatly from region to region; make sure you get Chinese sized tiles... they're more comfortable.
I've seen sources that say sets have 136 tiles, 144 tiles, an other numbers - does anyone know if this is a variation based on the style (American Mahjong, Chinese, Japanese, etc?) [Just started getting interested in the game, so I don't know)
Mah-Jongg looks like such a funny game, but...First, I'm german! I can't understand anything in this video! There are words, I've never heard before!
The other thing...It's too fast! I saw so many videos...every single video was too fast! I will never learn how to play such a good game!
