A short guide to American Mahjong pieces for new players and the people shopping for them.
What is in an American Mahjong set
Most of our tile sets have 160 tiles. Our Chinoiserie set breaks down like this:
| Dots | 36 |
|---|---|
| Bams | 36 |
| Craks | 36 |
| Winds | 16 |
| Dragons | 12 |
| Flowers | 8 |
| Jokers | 10 |
| Blanks | 6 |
Our Heritage tiles come as a 166-tile set. American Mahjong is played with the card the National Mah Jongg League publishes each year, and our leather card cover keeps it protected.

Setting your first table
- Tiles. A complete American Mahjong set.
- A mat. A cushioned mat softens the sound of the tiles, and a non-slip backing keeps it in place.
- Four racks with pushers. One for each player.
- A tile bag. Keeps the set together between games.
The Beginners Table brings all four together with standard-size Heritage tiles in a choice of blue or pink, for $240.00. Ships within 5 to 15 business days depending on selected tile colorway.
Hosting a game night
Shop For the HostFour players, one table, and a few pieces that make it feel like an occasion: cups, spreaders for the cheese board, coasters and favors to send home.
Caring for your pieces
- Our mats roll for storage, and several come with a canvas tote or bag to keep them in.
- Tiles are printed and finished partly by hand, so small variations in color and finish are part of each set.
- Keep tiles in their tile bag between games, and racks in a velvet rack bag.
- Bowtie spreaders are hand wash only, with warm water.
